Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef ribeye
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 30 ml Mirin
• 30 ml Sake
• 15 grams Sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Spring onions
• 2 cups Cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the beef ribeye. Slice it thinly across the grain, aiming for pieces that are about 2-3mm thick. This ensures they cook quickly and maintain tenderness.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Add the minced garlic to the soy sauce mixture, along with the sesame oil and sesame seeds.

Step 4

Place the sliced beef in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 5

While the beef marinates, chop the spring onions finely and set aside. They will be used as a garnish.

Step 6

Heat a grill pan or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, brush it lightly with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the marinated beef slices on the grill in a single layer without overcrowding them. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level. Thin slices will cook very quickly, so keep a close eye on them.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and set it aside on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped spring onions.

Step 9

Serve the beef yakiniku immediately with a side of cooked white rice for a complete meal. Optionally, serve with additional dipping sauce made from the same marinade mixture on the side.
