Savory Beef Teriyaki Stir-Fry with Spicy Chilies

Beef Teriyaki Recipe

Ingredients:

• 400 grams of beef
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large onion, sliced lengthwise
• 2 pieces of galangal, crushed
• 4 red chilies, sliced lengthwise
• 6 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 4 green chilies, sliced lengthwise
• 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
• Sugar, to taste
• Warm water, as needed
• Cooking oil, as needed
• 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in water
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• Salt, to taste

Steps:

1. Prepare the Beef:

   • Boil the beef until tender. Once cooked, slice it thinly.

2. Marinate the Beef:

   • In a bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, and ground black pepper. Add the sliced beef, ensuring it is well coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Cook the Aromatics:

   • Heat some cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed galangal, and sauté until fragrant.

4. Add the Vegetables and Beef:

   • Add the sliced red and green chilies to the pan and stir-fry briefly. Then, add the marinated beef to the pan. Stir-fry until the beef is evenly cooked and well mixed with the aromatics.

5. Simmer the Sauce:

   • Pour in warm water to create a sauce base. Add sugar and salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer.

6. Thicken the Sauce:

   • Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce has thickened and the beef is well-coated with the flavorful sauce. Allow the sauce to reduce slightly, concentrating the flavors.

7. Finish and Serve:

   • Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy your homemade Beef Teriyaki with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.

Note:
Traditionally, bell peppers are used in this recipe. If you don’t have bell peppers on hand, you can substitute them with additional chilies for a spicy kick.
