Beef Teriyaki with Rice

• 10 oz beef ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mirin
• 2 tbsp sake (or water)
• 1.5 tbsp sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cups steamed white rice
• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets and steamed
• 1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approx. 400°F / 200°C).

3. 3

   Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet. Sear for 1-2 minutes until browned on the outside but not fully cooked through.

4. 4

   Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium.

5. 5

   Simmer the beef in the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will bubble and thicken into a shiny glaze.

6. 6

   Once the sauce coats the beef nicely, remove from heat.

7. 7

   Serve the teriyaki beef hot over steamed rice, accompanied by steamed broccoli florets. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
