Ingredients

  • - Beef preferably sirloin or flank steak: ½ lb (227g)
  • - Jasmine rice: 1 cup 200g
  • - Fresh ginger grated: 2 tsp (10g)
  • - Garlic minced: 2 cloves
  • - Soy sauce low sodium: ¼ cup (60ml)
  • - Brown sugar: 3 tbsp 45g
  • - Cornstarch: 1 tbsp 15g
  • - Water: ¼ cup 60ml
  • - Green onions scallions, sliced: 2
  • - Broccoli florets: ½ cup 125g
  • - Sesame seeds for garnish
  • - Sesame oil: 2 tsp 10ml
  • - Freshly ground black pepper: to taste

Instructions

  • Start by washing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, in a saucepan, add rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
  • While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain.
  • In a skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the beef strips, seasoning them with freshly ground black pepper. Sauté until browned but not fully cooked.
  • Pour the previously prepared sauce over the beef.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the broccoli florets, stirring them into the beef and sauce. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but retains its vibrant green color.
  • Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork.
  • Serve the Teriyaki beef over the fluffy jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

1. Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to control your salt intake.
2. For a spicier kick, you can add a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
3. Always slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
4. Freshly ground black pepper has a much more vibrant flavor than pre-ground pepper. Consider investing in a pepper mill!
