Teriyaki Steak: A Delicious and Easy Recipe to Impress

Are you looking for a restaurant-quality steak dinner without the restaurant prices? This teriyaki steak recipe is your answer! It's easy to follow, delicious, and guaranteed to impress your family and friends. This recipe focuses on creating a rich, savory teriyaki sauce that perfectly complements the tender steak. Let's get cooking!

Ingredients You'll Need:

This recipe yields enough teriyaki sauce for two servings, easily adjustable for more.

• For the Steak:

  • 2 (8-ounce) steaks (Ribeye, New York Strip, or Sirloin work wonderfully)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 2 tablespoons sake (rice wine) Optional, but adds depth of flavor
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preparing the Steak:

1. Pat the steaks dry: This crucial step helps achieve a beautiful sear.
2. Season generously: Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the steaks: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.

Making the Teriyaki Sauce:

1. Combine ingredients: In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake (if using), brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and garlic.
2. Simmer the sauce: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Combining Steak and Sauce:

1. Reduce heat: Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, reduce the heat to medium-low.
2. Add the steaks to the sauce: Add the seared steaks to the pan with the teriyaki sauce.
3. Glaze the steak: Gently baste the steaks with the sauce for 1-2 minutes per side, allowing the sauce to coat and caramelize.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve your teriyaki steak immediately over rice, quinoa, or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal. Consider serving with steamed broccoli or asparagus for a complete and balanced meal.

Tips for the Best Teriyaki Steak:

• Let the steak rest: Allowing the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking helps retain its juices and results in a more tender and flavorful steak.
• Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of brown sugar. Conversely, add more for a sweeter flavor profile.
• Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan when searing the steak will lower the temperature and prevent proper browning. Work in batches if necessary.

This teriyaki steak recipe is a fantastic weeknight meal or a show-stopping dinner party dish. Enjoy! Remember to share your culinary creations using #TeriyakiSteakRecipe!
