Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to form a slurry, which will be used to thicken the sauce later.
Cooking the Beef
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add the thinly sliced beef and stir-fry until it is browned and cooked through.
  2. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the beef, bring it to a simmer, and then stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
Assembly
  1. Divide the cooked rice into two serving bowls, then spoon the teriyaki beef and sauce over the rice.
  2. Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving your delicious Teriyaki Beef Bowl.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef in a small amount of teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking. You can also add steamed vegetables like broccoli or snap peas to make it a more complete meal.
