Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef ribeye or sirloin
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Assorted vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, onions), sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir until sugar dissolves to make the dipping sauce.

- Preheat a grill, grill pan, or broiler to high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- Grill the beef slices for 1-2 minutes per side until charred and cooked to desired doneness. Grill vegetables alongside until tender.
- Transfer grilled meat and vegetables to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with reserved dipping sauce.
Tips
- For authentic flavor, use a charcoal grill if possible.
- Serve with steamed rice and lettuce leaves for wrapping.
- Leftover sauce can be refrigerated for up to a week.
