Ingredients:

1.50 lb beef
680g
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
72g
1 cup chinese peas
80g
1 cucumber
250g
1 cup mixed greens (or salad mix)
70g
2 cups basmati rice
400g
1 tsp sesame oil
5g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
1 tbsp mirin
16g
1 tbsp soy sauce
16g
1 tsp sugar
5g

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:
- In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes with the teriyaki sauce. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for best results.
2. Prepare the Rice:
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the rinsed rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
3. Prepare the Snow Pea Salad:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Chinese peas, cucumber slices, and mixed greens.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
4. Assemble and Cook the Skewers:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, ensuring not to overcrowd each skewer.
- Grill the beef skewers for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until your desired level of doneness is achieved.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
5. Serve:
- Divide the cooked basmati rice among serving plates.
- Place beef skewers on top or alongside the rice.
- Serve with a generous portion of the snow pea salad on the side.
- Enjoy your Teriyaki Beef Skewers with Snow Pea Salad!

Tips:

- Marinating Time: For the best flavor, allow the beef to marinate in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight if possible.

- Grilling: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before cooking the skewers. This helps to sear the meat and lock in the juices.

- Rice Preparation: Rinse the basmati rice under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch. This will result in fluffier rice.

- Serving: Serve the skewers immediately after grilling for the juiciest results. Pair them with the snow pea salad and rice for a complete meal.

- Salad Dressing: Mix the sesame oil, vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves completely. This creates a tangy, slightly sweet dressing that enhances the flavors of the salad.

- Vegetable Preparation: Slice the cucumber thinly and trim the ends of the snow peas for a more appealing presentation. Ensure all salad ingredients are fresh and crisp.

Teriyaki beef skewers with snow pea salad is a crowd-pleaser that brings together a wonderful blend of textures and flavors. The tender, savory beef perfectly complements the fresh, crisp vegetables, while the sesame and mirin dressing adds a deliciously unique twist. Enjoy this dish as a hearty meal or serve it at your next dinner party to impress your guests.
