Instructions
Marinate the Steak
- In a large bowl, combine the steak chunks with mirin, minced garlic, ginger paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, white pepper, and kosher salt. Toss well until all pieces are coated and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Veggies
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the carrots, zucchinis, and mushrooms, stirring for 10-15 minutes until golden and tender. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste, and set aside.
Sear the Steak
- In the same pan, increase the heat to medium-high, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the last tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the marinated steak, stir continuously until seared and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and toss to coat, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Serve It Up
- Arrange the seared steak and sautéed vegetables on a large platter. Serve alongside fried rice and a generous drizzle of Yum Yum Sauce.
Notes
For maximum flavor, marinate steak for up to 2 hours. Always use high heat when searing for a beautiful crust. Fresh vegetables are best for flavor. Keep ingredients moving for even cooking. Experiment with sauces like oyster sauce for variety.
