Classic Pot Roast
Beef Teriyaki and Rice
By :Urvashi Pitre |

Too often, store-bought or restaurant teriyaki sauces are nothing but sugar with a little soy sauce thrown in for funsies. This version is a lot less sweet than what you’re probably used to, but the other savory flavors shine through. For a lower-carb option, use frozen riced cauliflower in the pan rather than rice, and use xanthan gum for thickening rather than the cornstarch.
