Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef (ribeye, short ribs, or sirloin)
• 60 milliliters Gluten-free soy sauce
• 30 milliliters Mirin (gluten-free certified)
• 15 milliliters Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon White sesame seeds
• 300 grams Assorted vegetables (e.g. zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers)
• 2 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef into bite-sized pieces, about 3-5 mm thick, and set aside in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the yakiniku sauce by combining the gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Pour half of the sauce over the sliced beef, reserving the other half as a dipping sauce. Mix well to coat the beef, cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

While the beef marinates, wash and cut the vegetables (zucchini and mushrooms into slices, bell peppers into strips) into grill-friendly pieces.

Step 5

Heat a grill pan, barbecue grill, or electric tabletop grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with some sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill the beef slices and vegetables in batches. Cook the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until it is cooked to your preference. Grill the vegetables until they are tender and slightly charred.

Step 7

Serve the freshly grilled meats and vegetables with a bowl of steamed rice and the reserved dipping sauce on the side for extra flavor. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Yakiniku meal!
