Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef sirloin thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 stalks green onions sliced, for garnish
Teriyaki Sauce
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup mirin
  • 2 tbsp sake
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water for cornstarch slurry

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce
  1. Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine cornstarch with water to create a slurry and set aside.
Cook the Beef and Broccoli
  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Combine and Serve
  1. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the beef and broccoli. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens. Serve immediately over cooked white rice, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef in a tablespoon of the teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the sweetness of the sauce to your preference by adding more or less brown sugar.
