30 Minute Beef Teriyaki
Description
In this recipe, strip steaks are pan-seared to develop a browned exterior, then rested before slicing thinly against the grain to maintain tenderness. The teriyaki sauce is prepared by simmering a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until thickened, delivering a sweet and tangy glaze with subtle heat.
Serving the sliced steak with the warm sauce poured over it enhances the flavor and presentation. Garnishing with scallions and sesame seeds adds fresh, mild onion notes and a hint of nuttiness. This dish pairs well with rice and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Using Tamari instead of soy sauce can make this dish gluten free. Cutting the steak against the grain is important for tenderness. Cooking times may vary with ingredient substitutions.
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce or Tamari*
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 TB apple cider vinegar
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 TB ginger freshly grated
- 1 TB cornstarch
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 strip steak 10-12 oz each, 1 inch thick
- 2 TB vegetable oil
- 2 scallions sliced thin
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and pepper flakes.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until smoking. Add steaks and cook just until well browned, 3-5 min per side. Transfer to plate and tent with foil at least 5 min.
- Wipe out skillet and add soy sauce mixture. Simmer over medium heat until sauce is thickened, 2 min.
- Slice steaks thin against the grain and transfer to platter. Pour sauce over steak and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use Tamari as a gluten-free alternative to regular soy sauce in this recipe.
- Slice the steak against the grain to ensure the beef remains tender and easy to eat.
- Serve over jasmine rice and pair with air-fried broccoli to round out the meal.
- Adjust cooking times accordingly if you make substitutions or variations in this recipe.
