Hawaiian Beef Teriyaki Recipe
This Hawaiian Beef Teriyaki is juicily tender. Simple homemade teriyaki sauce drizzled over thinly sliced beef, a family favorite. You'll love the flavor of this teriyaki made with flank steak and a few authentic ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pound beef steak (such as sirloin or flank), thinly sliced
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup soya sauce
- 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp. sesame oil
- ½ tsp. fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- salt to taste
- Pineapple slices (grilled)
- Green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- To make the sauce, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Mix all ingredients well until the sugar dissolves and the marinade is well blended.
- Put the thinly sliced beef in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Make sure the beef is evenly coated with the marinade.
- For maximum flavor infusion, cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Prepare your grill for medium-high heat for 30 minutes. Be sure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing red if you are using a charcoal grill.
- Let any excess marinade drip off the beef after it has been removed from the marinade. For basting, save the marinade.
- On a preheated grill, place the slices of beef. For each side, cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
- Brush the beef with leftover marinade while grilling. It will enhance the flavor and create a beautiful glaze.
- After grilling, transfer the grilled beef teriyaki to a serving platter and let rest for a few minutes.
- Grill the pineapple directly on the grates for 2-3 minutes per side. Rotate halfway to ensure even charring.
- Ideally, you want to grill the pineapple slices without burning it.
- Garnish Hawaiian Beef Teriyaki, with grilled pineapple slices, and green onions.
- Steamed white rice pairs well with the beef teriyaki.
- Enjoy!
