Hokben-Inspired Teriyaki Beef Stir-Fry

Teriyaki Beef ala Hokben

Ingredients:

• 250 grams beef (sliced thinly)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cm ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
• 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
• Salt (to taste)
• 1/2 onion (sliced thinly)
• Cooking oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, teriyaki sauce, and sweet soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until the beef is well-coated with the marinade. Let it sit for 1.5 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.

2. Cook the Beef: Heat some cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until it changes color. Once the beef has browned, add a small amount of water to the pan to ensure the beef cooks through completely.

3. Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the flavor requires enhancement, add extra black pepper, teriyaki sauce, or sweet soy sauce according to your preference.

4. Simmer: Allow the beef to simmer until the water reduces and the sauce thickens.

5. Add Onions: Incorporate the thinly sliced onions into the pan and stir briefly until the onions are just tender and slightly translucent.

6. Serve: Your Teriyaki Beef is now ready to be served. Enjoy this flavorful dish with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes!

Feel free to adjust the seasoning to match your taste preferences and enjoy a delightful meal inspired by Hokben’s beloved teriyaki beef.
