Beef Sirloin Grilled In Spicy Tomato Sauce

The spicy tomato sauce in this recipe really steals the show – the chili powder and hot sauce will make your mouth tingle, and the lime juice gives it a little bit of tangy kick to finish off. If you’re really into the heat, you can also add some fresh jalapeño pepper slices on top of the meat as a garnish.

The coconut aminos are basically a Paleo substitute for soy sauce (but without the gluten and soy in actual soy sauce). You can buy them at health-food stores or online. And actually, they’re increasingly available in typical grocery stores, so you might be able to find them right next to the soy sauce.

For a vegetable side, the obvious choice is something grilled, but a crisp leafy salad would also be a very tasty choice. Or have both!
