Variations Ideas
- Steaks – Feel free use different cuts of steaks to make this recipe. Marinade the teriyaki sauce with flank steak, skirt steak, or any that you prefer.
- Teriyaki Sauce – We love to make homemade sauces but feel free to use store bought teriyaki sauce.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 – In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, mirin, brown sugar and minced garlic. Then add in grated ginger, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar to create the teriyaki marinade.
Step 2 – Place the sirloin steaks in a large Ziplock bag and pour in the teriyaki marinade. Make sure the steaks are well coated with the marinade. Seal the bag and place in the fridge.
- Step 3 – Preheat the grill to high-heat. While the grill is heating, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature.
Step 4 – Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 5 – Transfer the grilled steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the steaks against the grain and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Marinating Steak – Marinate the steaks for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse. For best results, an extended marinating time of up to 8 hours is recommended, but avoid marinating for too long as the acidity and salt can start to change the texture of the meat.
- Grilling Steak – For best results we recommend grilling the steaks after they have come to room temperature. You may even find more tips on How to Grill Filet Mignon.
