Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef flank steak or chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- 2 cups steamed white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the beef or chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces and 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 teriyaki marinade.
Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade for later use. Place the beef or chicken into the remaining marinade, making sure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and cook in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet along with the slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
Add the cooked meat and pineapple chunks to the skillet, stirring to coat the meat evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve your Teriyaki Beef or Chicken Hawaiian over steamed white rice, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
