Sauteed Chicken Sauce

This zesty sauce combines fresh lime juice, pungent garlic, and savory soy sauce to create a bold marinade perfect for tenderizing meat. While traditionally used with beef in Cambodian-style preparations, this quick-cooking sauce adds a bright, acidic kick that cuts through richness. The blend of black pepper and a touch of sweetness from Splenda balances the saltiness of the soy, resulting in a complex flavor profile. Ideal for weeknight dinners, it transforms simple cuts of meat into a restaurant-quality dish with minimal effort. Serve over rice or lettuce wraps for a complete, satisfying meal.

Description

This zesty sauce combines fresh lime juice, pungent garlic, and savory soy sauce to create a bold marinade perfect for tenderizing meat. While traditionally used with beef in Cambodian-style preparations, this quick-cooking sauce adds a bright, acidic kick that cuts through richness. The blend of black pepper and a touch of sweetness from Splenda balances the saltiness of the soy, resulting in a complex flavor profile.

Ingredients

1 tablespoons Splenda
1 1/2 Teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
7 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 Pounds sirloin, 1/2&# 226;ÂÂinch cubes
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoons Water
2 Tablespoons canola oil

Directions

1
In a medium bowl, combine Splenda, 1 teaspoon of the black pepper, soy sauce, and crushed garlic. Stir well to dissolve the sweetener.
2
Add the cubed meat to the bowl and stir thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the marinade. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
3
In a small serving bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper with lime juice and water. Set aside for serving.
4
Heat canola oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
5
Add the marinated meat to the hot pan in a single layer. SautÃÂ© for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended for sirloin).
6
Transfer the cooked meat to a platter lined with lettuce leaves or serve over jasmine rice.
7
Serve immediately with the lime-pepper sauce on the side for dipping.
