Ingredients
• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp chicken seasoning or bouillon powder
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mirin
• 2 tbsp sake (optional; substitute with water or broth)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 green onion, finely chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with chicken seasoning until well-coated. Set aside.
2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir until sugar dissolves.
3. Cook the Beef: Heat sesame oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. Simmer the Sauce: In the same skillet, pour the teriyaki sauce mixture and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
5. Thicken the Sauce: Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add it to the sauce and stir until the sauce thickens.
6. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it in the thickened sauce until fully coated.
7. Serve: Plate the beef and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for the ultimate experience!
Notes
• For a spicier version, add a dash of chili flakes or Sriracha to the sauce.
• Substitute chicken seasoning with all-purpose seasoning if unavailable.
• Feel free to toss in veggies like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for added crunch and nutrition.
