Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Sirloin steak
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting later. Pour the remaining marinade into a zip-top bag or a shallow dish.
Place the sirloin steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for a deeper flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
While the grill preheats, prepare the teriyaki glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the reserved marinade, cornstarch, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a glossy glaze, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the used marinade.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium). Brush the steaks with the teriyaki glaze during the last minute of grilling on each side.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle the grilled steaks with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice or grilled vegetables.
