Recently, I am trying to incorporate iron-rich foods into my diet. This beef teriyaki is one of the simple beef dishes that I’ve made.
There is really no need to introduce teriyaki as this is probably one of the most well-known imports from Japanese cuisine. Everyone loves chicken teriyaki.
Previously, I shared chicken teriyaki recipe on Rasa Malaysia.
I cheated and pan-fried my beef on a skillet (traditionally, it should be grilled for a deeper and smokier flavor), and then lacquered the sweet and savory homemade yakitori sauce on top the beef before serving.
This beef teriyaki recipe not the most authentic way to make it, but it’s one that’s perfect for my busy schedules lately.
Try this easy beef teriyaki at home, and you will never need another takeout of this popular dish at home. Plus, you can make a big batch of the teriyaki sauce and keep it in the refrigerator, and you can have teriyaki as often as you want.

For the Beef Teriyaki recipe, I see ingrediats marinade but not for the Teriyaki sauce. Is a heading missing in the recipe?
Rasa Malaysia
Updated, but all ingredients for the teriyaki sauce is there.

How is Japanese cooking sake different from sake? I can find sake at the liquor store, but cannot find cooking sake nearby. Thanks!
Rasa Malaysia
Cooking sake has salt in it, lower grade and it’s not for drinking. You can use drinking sake with a little bit salt.

Could I use the picture for my cooking book? I’ll put the web’s name under it.

My steak is ALWAYS chewy and tough. What gives? Can I marinate it in something so it’s tender?
Rasa Malaysia
Marinate with a bit of baking soda for 10 minutes then rinse off thoroughly before cooking.

For the muslim inquiry about sake and mirin being alcohol and thus prohibited. If you heat to a simmer either the sake or the mirin and let it simmer a few moments, the alcohol completely “burns off” and the sake and mirin are effectively non alcoholic. This is true with anything alcoholic. Alcohol has a low evaporation point and evaporates quickly. The same holds true for example if one were making a rum cake and didn’t want any alcohol but wanted the flavor hat rum imparts, the same holds true. Actually the cooking or baking process itself, because of the high temperature, eveporates the alcohol part of the rum or any other liquor. You can’t get drunk on rum cake no matter how much you eat. So to the muslim friends, enjoy.

Awesome teriyaki
lilian
Hi would the addition of grated ginger or ginger juice about 1 tbsp make the sauce better? Or perhaps throwing in 1 clove of garlic?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, ginger juice will make the sauce slightly better. Not garlic though.

hi rasa malaysia,is there any subtitute for sake and mirin?since im a muslim i cant use those alcoholic mixture into my food,but i would love to try this recipe out… :(
Rasa Malaysia
Sorry but there are no substitutes for sake or mirin.
Frank
Love this site, thank you for providing it. Will this taste totally weird if I substituted rice vinegar, regular white wine or Shaoxing wine instead of sake and mirin which I don’t have on hand?
kitchen equipment
This looks fantastic, and no too hard to cook either! I’ll be adding these ingredients on to my shopping list for next week… Although the Sake might be a little more difficult to find.
Thanks for sharing!

This looks great, particularly the teriyaki sauce (not too sweet).
I try to eat iron-rich foods, too, and have found that stir-frying in a carbon steel work or using cast iron adds iron to my diet.

Hi Bee!
I’m a huge fan of Rasa Malaysia. That Beef Teriyaki looks scrumptious! How do I get beef strips as thin as yours?
Natalie
Looks delicious. I love chicken teriyaki but i am going to try your recipe with beef.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Natalie – I got flap meat, which already comes in thin slap, so I just slice it up. :)
DailyChef
Yum, beef teriyaki! I sometimes prefer chicken teriyaki because it’smore consistent, but if done well, can’t beat beef!
tigerfish
Ya, talking abt iron-rich food, eat more “black” food such as black chicken, black fungus, black rice, dark green vege etc. Looking at your beef teriyaki, almost can do 牛扒包….ha…of course, goes well with rice too :p
Rasa Malaysia
Oooh, I still have one frozen black chicken in the freezer somewhere. I almost forgot about it. Thanks for reminding. Hehe.
momgateway
beef teri is my son’s fav beef dish…I use sirloin and it works as well as flank steak…most of the time I pan fry it too because of the convenience…
Rasa Malaysia
That’s great that you are pan-frying too, yeah, so much more easier. ;)

Rasa Malaysia
You can read about it here: http://articles.sfgate.com/2005-03-16/food/17363758_1_flank-steak-niman-ranch-flap
You can always use flank steak or skirt steak if you can’t find it.
Chris
Thank you for dinner tonight, this was great. Like Shirley above me, I have never really liked bottled sauce, either too sweet or too salty. This was excellent!
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Chris, did you make this beef teriyaki already? That’s fast! I am glad you love it.
Shirley
I always wonder how to make teriyaki sauce from scratch because I don’t like the bottled version. Will try out the recipe. Any recommendations as to the brands of sake and mirin?
Ain Nabila
hi shirley! the easiest and fastest way to make teriyaki sauce is by combining brown sugar and soy sauce. you can add some ginger garlic paste too. you should definitely try it! :D
