Equipment

Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Sauce

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sweet rice wine
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Beef Teriyaki

  • 1 pound sirloin steak sliced across the grain approximately 1/4 inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Make the Teriyaki Sauce

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the soy sauce, water, rice wine, brown sugar, garlic and ginger.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn the heat to low.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water.
  • Slowly whisk the cornstarch into the soy sauce mixture and turn off the heat. Set aside.

Make the Beef Teriyaki

  • Toss the steak with the cornstarch, salt and pepper, to coat.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering.
  • Shake off the excess cornstarch from the beef and carefully add to the pan in an even layer being careful not to crowd the pan. You may need to work in batches, if necessary.
  • Cook the beef for 3-4 minutes without moving it around. Using tongs, flip the beef over and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil if necessary.
  • Return all the beef to the pan and pour the sauce over the beef tossing to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes or until thickened.
  • Serve immediately with rice.
