Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
- Cook the beef in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Set aside.
- Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet or grill pan and pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over it. Stir well to coat the beef evenly and cook for another minute to heat through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
- Serve the beef teriyaki over steamed rice or with stir-fried vegetables. Enjoy!
