You can also use sirloin, tenderloin, or rib steak. Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce: I prefer coconut aminos. I love the flavor it gives. However, if you use soy sauce that works just as well. Red Wine Vinegar: in a pinch, use regular white vinegar, but if you can use red wine vinegar, I highly recommend it. Lime Juice: I prefer fresh squeezed lime juice, or you can use a bottled lime juice if that is what you have available. Sweetener: If following a low carb diet, I recommend monkfruit. Otherwise, use granulated white sugar Avocado Oil or Olive Oil Fresh Cilantro: This is used in the marinade and I don’t recommend a substitution. If you can’t get fresh cilantro, I recommend using 1-2 tablespoons of dried cilantro.
