- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tbsp sake (or dry sherry)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
How to make Japanese Teriyaki Glazed Sirloin Steak
- Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 2 tbsp sake (or dry sherry), 2 tbsp packed brown sugar, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Whisk well.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water to create a slurry. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly.
- Continue to simmer the glaze for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until it thickens to a glossy, syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Remove the 1.5 lbs sirloin steaks from the refrigerator and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired, though the glaze provides ample seasoning.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is just smoking.
- Carefully place the steaks in the hot pan. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F), or longer for desired doneness. A nice brown crust should form.
- During the last minute of cooking, brush a generous amount of the prepared teriyaki glaze onto both sides of the steaks, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- Remove the glazed steaks from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-7 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a tender and moist steak.
- Slice the rested steaks against the grain into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Arrange on serving plates and drizzle with any remaining teriyaki glaze from the pan or saucepan.
- Garnish with 1 tsp sesame seeds and 2 tbsp sliced green onions before serving. Serve immediately with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete Japanese-inspired dinner.
