Description

A simple and delicious teriyaki steak recipe that you can make at home with minimal ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp mirin or rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 tbsp water (if using cornstarch)
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, mirin, garlic, and ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.
  2. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  3. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the steak and stir well. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. If using cornstarch, dissolve it in water and add to the pan. Stir until the sauce thickens.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.

Notes

  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain for tenderness.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
