How to make beef teriyaki stir-fry.

Please make sure to read the recipe instructions carefully to avoid mistakes.

Since you will need to cook the beef quickly, on high heat, follow the following instructions to prepare the beef for the stir-fry.

Choose the right cut of beef(mentioned above). 

Cut against the grain. 

Keeping in mind, that beef shrinks in size when cooked, cut the beef into very thin bite-size pieces.

marinating the beef for the teriyaki.

Place the beef in a bowl then marinate the beef slices with salt(1/2 tsp)and pepper(1/2 tsp) for 10-20 minutes. 

preparing the vegetables for stir-fry.

For the vegetables, in beef teriyaki, you can use, any type of vegetable that cooks fast. I used cauliflower because that’s what I had.

For example, broccoli, button mushrooms, green peas, asparagus and green beans.

How to cut the cauliflower.

Wash the cauliflower. break the cauliflower into large florets and then cut them into smaller florets.

Cut the bell pepper into thin slices and discard the seeds.

Making the teriyaki sauce. 

Into a small pan add, sugar(1/4 cup), water(1/2 cup), and soy sauce(1/4 cup). minced ginger and garlic(1 tbs), oil(1 tbs). 

Over low heat, cook the ingredients until sugar dissolves. 2 minutes. 

While the sauce is still cooking over low heat and dissolve cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of warm water and add the cornstarch mixture to the teriyaki sauce. 

Slowly stir until the teriyaki sauce thickens, check if the sauce is seasoned to your preference like salt and sugar.

Over low heat, cook the ingredients until sugar dissolves. 2 minutes. 

Add oil to the wok/frying pan, once the oil is warm add the beef and stir-fry the beef until they are cooked through, regulate heat between medium, high and medium again.

Stir-fry between 5-10 minutes.

Once done, transfer the beef slices to a plate.

Wipe or wash away any dark bits left over by stirfrying the beef.

Add oil(1 tablespoon) followed by cauliflower, and bell pepper slices into the wok, season with a pinch of salt, and stir-fry the vegetables for 3-5 minutes over low-medium fire.

The vegetables need to be a little soft and crispy.

You can add a few tablespoons(2-3) of water to soften them if need be.

Add the crispy stir-fried beef into the wok and combine well over low heat.

Reduce heat and add the homemade teriyaki sauce to the beef slices and vegetables. cook over medium heat.

Check for seasoning and serve warm.

Always serve the beef teriyaki warm.
