Ingredients
- 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon mirin (found in the Asian food section)
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch plus 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 lb sirloin steak (cut into 1/4 inch thick, 5-7 inch long strips)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium high heat. Brush the grates with oil.
- To make the teriyaki glaze, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, mirin, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Dissolve cornstarch in cold water then whisk mixture into soy sauce mixture. Continue to simmer another 5-10 minutes, whisking occasionally, until sauce is thickened (it should coat the back of a spoon). Remove from heat and set aside.
- Toss beef strips with sesame oil in a large bowl then thread onto skewers. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place skewers on the prepared grill. Cover and grill 5 minutes on each side. Brush generously with teriyaki sauce then grill another 4 minutes or until glaze is somewhat "set."
- Serve skewers with rice and extra teriyaki sauce.
Notes
- Sirloin can be a bit tougher of a cut, so make sure you cut your pieces against the grain and make sure they are thin enough to be easy to chew.
