Beef Teriyaki Hokben: A Delicious Japanese-Inspired Recipe
Ingredients:
- 300 grams of thinly sliced beef
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cm fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large onion
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade:
- Start by finely grating the garlic and ginger.
- In a bowl, combine the sweet soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and sesame oil.
- Add the sugar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, mixing well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Marinate the Beef:
- Place the thinly sliced beef into the bowl with the marinade.
- Toss the beef to ensure it is evenly coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. The longer the beef marinates, the more the flavors will penetrate, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
-
Cook the Beef:
- Heat the cooking oil and butter in a pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil and butter are hot, add the marinated beef to the pan.
- Stir the beef occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly.
-
Add Onions and Finish Cooking:
- When the beef is about halfway cooked, add half of the chopped onion to the pan.
- Continue to cook over low heat until the sauce has reduced and thickened, and the onions are tender.
- Once the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency and the onions are soft, add the remaining half of the chopped onion. Stir until the onions are wilted.
-
Serve:
- Turn off the heat and transfer the beef and onions to a serving dish.
- For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the top before serving.
