The perfect beef teriyaki

Beef Teriyaki is a flavorful dish that you can have ready in about 30 minutes! Delicious beef and a quick teriyaki sauce all made in one pan that will rival any take-out dish.

This beef teriyaki is a homemade version of one of my favourite restaurant dishes. Every piece of beef is a little crispy and coated in a sweet and sticky teriyaki sauce! It’s delicious served over steamed rice for a quick weeknight dinner.

5. Set sauce aside.

Putting it all together

1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables have started to brown and soften. Set the vegetables aside when they are crisp-tender.
2. Heat the remaining oil in the pan over high heat. Place beef in the pan and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until just cooked through.
3. Add the vegetables into the cooked beef. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the top and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat until warmed through.
4. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
