Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin steak
• 120 ml soy sauce
• 60 ml sake
• 60 ml mirin
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 units garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 60 ml water
• 2 units scallions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add grated fresh ginger and minced garlic cloves, then mix well to create the teriyaki marinade.

Step 3

Place the beef slices into the marinade, covering completely, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry, which will be used to thicken the sauce later.

Step 5

Heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated beef slices to the pan in a single layer (do this in batches if necessary), cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pan, pour any leftover marinade and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Return the beef to the pan and toss it in the sauce to coat thoroughly. Heat through for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with finely chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve the teriyaki beef hot, alongside steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!
