Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef (ribeye or sirloin)
- 300 grams Chicken (thigh or breast)
- 300 grams Pork belly
- 200 ml Yakiniku sauce
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 60 ml Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 4 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 2 pieces Bell peppers
- 200 grams Mushrooms (shiitake or button)
- 1 large Onion
Instructions
1. Start by thinly slicing the beef, chicken, and pork belly into bite-sized pieces (approximately 5mm thick).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the yakiniku sauce, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Divide the sauce into two portions: one for marinating the meat and one for serving as a dipping sauce.
4. Place the sliced meat into a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Ensure the meat is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
5. While the meat is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers into strips and the onion into wedges. Trim the stems and slice the mushrooms.
6. Preheat an electric or tabletop grill according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7. Once the grill is ready, begin by grilling the marinated meat pieces. Ensure they are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8. Simultaneously, grill the prepared vegetables until they are tender and slightly charred, approximately 4-5 minutes.
9. Arrange the grilled meats and vegetables on a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
10. Serve with the reserved dipping sauce and enjoy!
