In 2011 she moved to the youth department of ADO Den Haag and was promoted to the first team a year later.[2] In four seasons - the first three in the BeNe League - she played 85 league games, scored 77 goals and won the club cup 2013 and 2016. For the 2016/17 season she was signed by league rivals FC Twente,[3] for whom she played 18 of 21 league games in the Eredivisie, scoring eight goals, as well as playing three games in the season's final championship round, in which she scored one goal.

She made her debut for Bayern Munich on September 24, 2017 (3rd matchday) in a 2-0 win in the Bundesliga home game against promoted team 1. FC Köln, coming on as a substitute for Jill Roord in the 62nd minute their first goal, the final score in the 89th minute.
On 21 June 2022, for the 2022/23 season she was signed by the Italian first division club Juventus, which has signed a contract with her until June 30, 2025.[4] With Juventus she qualified for the group phase of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, but missed the quarter-finals due to a goalless draw in the last group game against record winners Olympique Lyon. She appeared in nine games and scored two goals.
Beerensteyn made her national debut for the first time in 2011 and played two international matches for the Netherlands youth national team in the U-15 age group.[5] From 2012 to 2016, further appearances followed in the U-16, U-17, and U-19 age groups. With the U-19 national team she took part in the European Championship held in Norway from July 15th to 27th, 2014, which ended with her team winning the European championship title for the first time.
She made her senior national team debut on June 4, 2016 in Waalwijk in a 1-0 friendly win against South Africa, before being substituted for Daniëlle van de Donk in the 78th minute.[6] She scored her first senior international goal on October 20, 2016 in Livingston in a 7-0 win in the friendly against the Scottish national team with the goal to make it 2-0 in the 45th minute.[7]
At the Euro 2017 in her home country, which ended with her team's final victory, she had two short appearances in the group games and one short appearance in the quarter-finals against Sweden.[8] After the tournament, the whole team was honoured by the Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Minister of Sport Edith Schippers and made Knights of the Order of Orange-Nassau.[9]
She scored a goal at the 2018 Algarve Cup, where the Dutch shared the title with the Swedes due to the final not being held because of a flooded pitch.
