Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef sirloin sliced thinly
  • 2 cups cooked rice for serving
Teriyaki Sauce
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup mirin
  • 0.25 cup sake
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp ginger grated

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

Preparation
  1. First, prepare the teriyaki sauce by whisking together soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and grated ginger in a bowl, then set it aside.
  2. Next, slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, ensuring uniform thickness for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil, then add the sliced beef and cook until browned on all sides.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium, then pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
Serving
  1. Finally, serve the teriyaki beef immediately over hot cooked rice, garnishing with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef in a tablespoon of the teriyaki sauce for 15 minutes before cooking. Adjust sugar to your preference for a sweeter or more savory sauce.
