Beef Yakiniku (Japanese bbq)
Yakiniku is usually grilled over a iron plate or over charcoal, however, this is easy yakiniku done at home with a pan (or wok).
Equipment
- 1 pan
Ingredients
- 1 bowl of rice
- 1/3 lb beef cut to bite size pieces (about 1/4in thickness)
Sauce ingredients
- 1 tsp sesame oil to oil pan
- Pepper
- 1 stalk green onion chopped
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp grated garlic about 3 cloves
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- On medium heat, put a dash of sesame oil to prevent sticking
- Once the pan is heated, place cut of meat
- Slightly pepper beef
- Sear both sides of the beef
- Once beef is halfway cooked, place sauce ingredients
- Put some of the green onion (saving a little for topping later)
- Cook for a few more minutes until the beef is to your liking. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the beef. I use smaller cuts of meat—about 1/4in in thickness—so it cooks in a few minutes. I don't like to overcook my beef.
- Remove from heat and serve over a bed of rice or on the side.
- Enjoy!
