Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef ribeye
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Mirin
- 30 ml Sake
- 15 grams Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Spring onions
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the beef ribeye. Slice it thinly across the grain, aiming for pieces that are about 2-3mm thick. This ensures they cook quickly and maintain tenderness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Add the minced garlic to the soy sauce mixture, along with the sesame oil and sesame seeds.
Place the sliced beef in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the beef marinates, chop the spring onions finely and set aside. They will be used as a garnish.
Heat a grill pan or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, brush it lightly with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated beef slices on the grill in a single layer without overcrowding them. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level. Thin slices will cook very quickly, so keep a close eye on them.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and set it aside on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped spring onions.
Serve the beef yakiniku immediately with a side of cooked white rice for a complete meal. Optionally, serve with additional dipping sauce made from the same marinade mixture on the side.
