Prepare the Marinade:
-
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Marinate the Beef:
-
Place the thinly sliced beef in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat the Oil:
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the Beef:
-
Remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Sear the beef slices in the hot skillet, cooking until browned on both sides. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Add the Marinade:
-
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Thicken the Sauce (Optional):
-
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and add it to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Rest the Beef:
-
Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef rest for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve:
-
Serve the beef teriyaki over cooked white rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
