NOTES
1. Flank Steak: The best cut of beef for teriyaki beef and broccoli. It is sliced into small strips. This is readily available. You could also use sirloin steak or tri-tip steak.
2. Soy sauce: all-purpose soy sauce (or Japanese soy sauce). It’s light soy sauce with more flavor (but you could use light soy sauce too).
3. Mirin: sweet Japanese cooking wine. Mirin is much sweeter than Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing). If you use the latter, add two teaspoons of extra brown sugar.
4. Storage
- Refrigerator—Store the teriyaki beef and broccoli with rice covered with plastic foil for up to two days in the fridge.
- Freezer (uncooked)—Place the teriyaki sauce, steak, and broccoli florets in a freezer bag or box and freeze. Before preparing, let the mixture thaw in the refrigerator. Stir-fry ginger and garlic in the pan. Add the defrosted beef, sauce, and broccoli and stir-fry for about 4 minutes until cooked through and hot. Serve immediately.
- Freezer (cooked)—Let it cool quickly and put it in a freezer bag or box. This way, you can store it for up to 3 months in the freezer. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight and stir-fry until hot (you might want to add some extra water if it becomes too dry).
