Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin or flank steak
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 0.5 cups pineapple juice
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin or flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Pour half of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag or bowl, and add the sliced beef. Seal the bag, mix well, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor. Reserve the remaining marinade for the sauce.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid, and cook in batches if needed. Sear the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In a separate small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the cooked beef slices, or toss the slices in the sauce for an even coating.
Garnish with chopped scallions and white sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately over steamed rice or alongside grilled vegetables for a complete Hawaiian-style meal.
