Ingredients
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
2 tablespoons sake (or dry sherry)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups steamed white rice
1 cup steamed broccoli florets
1 carrot, julienned
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef slices in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return beef to the skillet along with any accumulated juices. Toss to coat and cook for another 1-2 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce glazes the meat.
To assemble bowls, divide steamed rice among 4 bowls. Top with beef and teriyaki sauce, then arrange broccoli and carrot alongside. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Tips
For best results, slice beef partially frozen for thin, even strips.
Substitute sake with dry sherry or chicken broth if unavailable.
Add a drizzle of sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
