Description

A quick and flavorful Beef Teriyaki recipe featuring tender sirloin steak cubes seared to perfection, cooked with savory soy sauce, brown sugar, and fresh ginger. This dish is garnished with green onions and perfect for a satisfying meal served over rice or noodles.

Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into cubes
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • Green onion, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, and grated ginger. Mix thoroughly until the sugar dissolves, creating a smooth teriyaki sauce.
  2. Sear the Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sirloin steak cubes and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a rich, brown crust. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Onions: Add the chopped onions to the same skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become translucent, absorbing some of the flavor left in the pan.
  4. Add Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture into the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the seared beef cubes to the skillet and stir thoroughly to coat them with the sauce and onions evenly.
  6. Simmer and Thicken: Allow the beef and sauce to simmer together for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld perfectly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Be careful not to overcook the beef to maintain its tenderness.
  • You can add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for more nutrition.
  • Adjust brown sugar amount to taste for more or less sweetness.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavors and texture.
