Teriyaki Beef Or Chicken
Tender strips of beef or chicken coated in a savory teriyaki glaze, accented with green pepper and onion, perfect for a quick, flavorful Asian-inspired meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the soy sauce, oil, molasses, ground ginger, dry mustard, and garlic powder to make the marinade.
- Slice the steak or chicken into thin strips and slice the green pepper and onion very thinly.
- Marinate the meat, green pepper, and onion in the mixture for a minimum of 4 hours, up to 12 hours.
- Brown the marinated meat, onion, and green peppers until tender.
- Serve hot with rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or sesame oil to the marinade. If you're short on time, marinating for just 30 minutes can still yield tasty results. You can substitute chicken with tofu for a vegan option or use a low-sodium soy sauce to reduce saltiness. Thinly sliced vegetables like carrots or snap peas can also be added for extra crunch and nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the flavorful sauce. For a complete meal, serve alongside stir-fried bean sprouts or a fresh green salad. You can also top the Teriyaki with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for added texture and flavor. A side of Grandma Midgie's Teriyaki Marinade might enhance the experience even more.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Teriyaki Beef or Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a skillet over medium heat to warm the dish, adding a splash of water to maintain moisture. Alternatively, microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until heated through. Avoid reheating more than once to preserve quality.
