Ingredients
- 500 g beef steak sliced into thin strips
- 80 ml soy sauce
- 60 ml mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 60 ml sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cm piece of ginger grated
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
- steamed rice to serve
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Slice the Beef:
- Slice the beef steak thinly, about 0.5 cm thick. You can partially freeze the beef for easier slicing.
Marinate the Beef:
- Place the sliced beef in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the beef, making sure it's fully coated.
- Seal the dish or bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 2-3 hours or even overnight.
Cook the Beef:
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up.
- Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
- Place the beef slices in the hot pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook the beef in batches.
- Sear the beef for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until it's cooked to your desired level of doneness. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your beef slices.
- Remove the cooked beef from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
- In the same pan, add the marinade you used for the beef.
- Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve:
- Arrange the cooked beef on a serving platter.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the beef slices.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve with Rice:
- Serve your beef teriyaki with steamed rice on the side.Enjoy your homemade beef teriyaki!
