The Teriyaki Sauce

I use one home-made recipe for teriyaki sauce for all my Asian-inspired recipes and this beef recipe is no exception! It’s super easy to make and I know exactly what’s in. It’s also really easy to adjust the amount of sugar and other flavors. It’s made with just a few simple ingredients: soy sauce, sesame seed oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic and ginger. I like to use pre-minced garlic and ginger puree to save time! Find the puree ginger in a tube in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.

Preparing the Skewers

The home-made teriyaki sauce is also the marinade in this recipe. Once the meat is done marinating, just pour the sauce into a saucepan and cook for a few minutes. I like to brush the sauce onto the beef while it’s grilling AND serve some extra on the side! You guys will love this simple and easy recipe! If you’re planning to make this recipe for a get-together, plan to make a double batch because these beef skewers will go quickly! Garnish the teriyaki beef skewers with sesame seeds and chopped green onion for a bit of color.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds flank or skirt steak
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
1/2 tsp EACH: garlic powder, onion powder, ginger
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
sesame seeds, for garnish
chopped green onion, for garnish
12 to 15 bamboo skewers

Instructions

Prepare the teriyaki marinade first. Combine in a large bowl the soy sauce, water, oil, sugar, vinegar and spices. Whisk and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to prepare the steak: trim any silverskin and fatty parts. Slice the steak into long, 1-inch wide strips. Place the sliced steak into the prepared marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. For best results, refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight. Turn the beef every couple of hours.
While the beef is marinating, pre-soak the bamboo skewers in water to prevent the wood from burning. Preheat an outdoor grill to 475F; or stove-top grill to medium-high. Skewer each strip of beef, one to two pieces per skewer. Grill the beef for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
While beef is grilling, finish preparing the teriyaki sauce. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring up to a simmer over medium heat; simmer for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, then add the slurry to the sauce. Whisk and cook the sauce for 1 minute, until the sauce is thickened. Use a pastry brush to add more sauce to the beef skewers.
Garnish the beef with sesame seeds and chopped green onions when serving; serve immediately.

These Teriyaki Beef Skewers look amazing! I live in the Northeast and our weather is freezing right now. 🙁 Do you think I could bake this and for how long?

  Absolutely! I recommend preheating your oven to 425F and place the skewers ends onto the ledge of a small pan, so that the skewers are suspended. Then bake for about 10 to 15 minutes one side, turn them over and 10 minutes the other side.
