Beef Teriyaki pictures (1 of 4)

Recently, I am trying to incorporate iron-rich foods into my diet. This beef teriyaki is one of the simple beef dishes that I’ve made.

There is really no need to introduce teriyaki as this is probably one of the most well-known imports from , other than sushi and . (Previously, shared her on Rasa Malaysia.)

This beef teriyaki recipe not the most authentic way to make it, but it’s one that’s perfect for my busy schedules lately.

Beef Teriyaki Recipe

8 oz beef flap meat
Some oil for pan-frying

Marinade

1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sake

Teriyaki Sauce (Tare)

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon corn starch (mixed with 1 teaspoon water)

Garnishing

White sesame seeds
Some chopped scallions, optional

Method:

Slice the beef into thin pieces, across the grain. Marinate the beef with the Marinade, for about 20 minutes.

Mix all the ingredients in the Teriyaki Sauce. Heat up a small sauce pan and prepare the sauce. As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, remove it from the heat.

Add some oil to your skillet and pan-fry the beef, until slightly charred. Transfer the beef to a serving ware, and add the Teriyaki Sauce on top. Garnish with white sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if used. Serve the beef teriyaki immediately with steamed white rice.

Cook’s Note:

2. The teriyaki sauce recipe is adapted from .
