The Interesting History of Teriyaki
Where do you think teriyaki sauce is from? You’re probably thinking it’s from Japan, right? Actually, teriyaki sauce has its origins in Hawaii, where Japanese immigrants tried to make their traditional sauce by using ingredients native to Hawaii, such as pineapple juice. They blended these juices with their traditional soy sauce and eventually, the teriyaki sauce of today came into existence.
Teriyaki also describes a specific cooking style used in traditional Japanese cuisine involving broiled foods topped with that special, sweet glaze. Almost anything can be made in a teriyaki style, including fish, chicken, pork, lamb, and more.
In Japan, it is more common to see fish teriyaki than any other kind of protein. But in other countries, you may see many more red meat options. Here’s one of them below!
How We Make Our Healthy Beef Teriyaki Recipe
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 Tbsp of flour and a pinch of salt and pepper. When it’s all combined, add 400-500g of beef, sliced into chunks, and coat it with the flour mixture. Set it aside for now.
2. Get out a frying pan and heat it up with oil. Add your coated beef chunks and cook them until they are brown and crusty on the outside. Remove the beef chunks from heat for now.
3. In the same frying pan, add ½ onion and 2 garlic cloves, chopped. Cook them until they turn golden brown. Next, add 1 cup of chicken stock, some garlic powder, 2 Tbsp of brown sugar, 3-4 Tbsp of soy sauce, 1-2 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar, 1 Tbsp of sriracha, and some salt and pepper. Stir everything together, add the beef back in, and cook on a low heat for about 25 minutes.
4. Split into servings and top with some spring onions and sesame seeds.
