Beef Yakiniku ala Hokben
Ingredients:
- 250 grams beef, thinly sliced (adjust thickness to preference)
- 1 large onion
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt, sugar, and water to taste
For the Spice Paste:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cm ginger
- Chili, thinly sliced, to taste (adjust according to your spice preference)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by thinly slicing the beef according to your preference. Set aside. Slice the onion and green onion, and prepare the chili and spice paste.
-
Make the Spice Paste: Blend or finely chop the garlic and ginger to create a smooth spice paste. Combine with the sliced chili.
-
Cook the Spice Paste: In a hot skillet or wok, sauté the spice paste and sliced chili until fragrant. This will release the aromatic flavors of the garlic and ginger.
-
Add the Beef: Incorporate the thinly sliced beef into the skillet. Stir well to ensure that the beef is evenly coated with the aromatic spice paste.
-
Season the Dish: Add the teriyaki sauce, sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, and ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning with salt, sugar, and water to taste. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
-
Simmer the Beef: Allow the beef to cook until tender and the liquid has reduced. This usually takes a few minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Add Vegetables: Once the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, add the sliced onion and green onion. Cook for an additional few minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
-
Adjust the Thickness: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a little water. Stir well and cook until the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
-
Final Touches: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once the dish is ready, remove from heat.
-
Serve: Transfer the beef yakiniku to a serving dish and enjoy it hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
