beef teriyaki

Updated on Jun 10, 2026

My hubby was out on the cold patio BBQing last night, making this. It is an Island favorite of our family. I also do a breaded teriyaki. We use the leftovers for sandwiches. I usually serve potato/mac salad with this, along with rice, but last night I made the Japanese somen salad. I make the sauce the night before and marinate the beef the night before I am going to cook the meal.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We loved the slightly sweet and savory homemade teriyaki sauce on this beef teriyaki. It's so much better than store-bought sauce. We used a skirt steak and grilled it whole. Then sliced it very thin. We opted to serve this over veggie fried rice and thought this was better than what we can grab at takeout. The slices of steak were so flavorful and tender. This is a delicious Asian-inspired dinner.
