Beef Teriyaki Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg (1 pound) beef, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Water, as needed
- Butter, for sautéing
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Base: Begin by melting a generous amount of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until they release their aromatic fragrance and become golden.
-
Cook the Beef: Introduce the thinly sliced beef to the skillet, stirring to coat it evenly with the garlic and ginger mixture. Season with sugar and salt, and continue to stir until the beef is well mixed.
-
Simmer: Pour in enough water to just cover the beef. Stir in a generous splash of teriyaki sauce, ensuring that the beef is well-coated. Allow the mixture to simmer, cooking until the beef becomes tender and absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
-
Add Vegetables: Once the beef is nearly cooked, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Stir to combine, letting the vegetables cook until they are tender yet still crisp.
-
Thicken the Sauce: For a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of cold water to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the skillet and cook until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are cooked to your liking, sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish for a delightful crunch. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter.
-
Garnish and Enjoy: Serve your Beef Teriyaki hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Enjoy the rich flavors of this homemade Beef Teriyaki, a perfect blend of savory and slightly sweet, with a satisfying texture that will delight your taste buds!
