Experience the savory and sweet flavors of homemade Teriyaki beef, a classic Japanese dish that's simple to prepare and sure to impress. This recipe combines marinated beef with a delicious Teriyaki sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, sugar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic for a mouthwatering meal.
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the ginger root.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
- Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Place the sliced beef in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the beef, ensuring all slices are well-coated.
- Marinate the beef in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for deeper flavor. If you have more time, marinate overnight.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Add a small amount of oil (vegetable or canola oil) to the pan if needed.
- Once the pan is hot, add the marinated beef slices in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. The beef should be slightly caramelized from the sugar in the marinade.
- Transfer the cooked beef to a serving platter.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve hot with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for a more intense flavor.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, but for a more robust flavor, consider marinating it overnight in the fridge.
- For a thicker sauce, cook the Teriyaki sauce a bit longer until it reduces to your desired consistency.
- If you don't have mirin, you can substitute it with a mixture of sake and sugar (1 tbsp sake with 1 tsp sugar for every 1 tbsp of mirin).
- Use a high-quality soy sauce for the best taste.
- Consider adding a splash of water if the sauce becomes too salty.
- You can garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
