Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ribeye steak (or preferred cut)
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the teriyaki marinade by combining soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Mix until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the teriyaki marinade over the steaks, reserving the other half for the sauce. Cover and allow the steaks to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.

Step 5

Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Discard the used marinade.

Step 6

Sear the steaks in the hot skillet or grill pan for about 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare) or longer depending on your preferred doneness.

Step 7

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil, for about 5 minutes.

Step 8

While the steaks are resting, pour the reserved teriyaki marinade into the same skillet. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 9

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Step 10

Slice the rested steaks against the grain and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over them.

Step 11

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables.
