Ingredients for Benihana Teriyaki Steak Chicken

  • Sake
  • Soy Sauce
  • Mirin
  • Sugar
  • Boneless Beef Top Loin Steaks
  • 2 chopped scallions (spring onions)

How to Make Benihana Teriyaki Steak Chicken

  1. Whisk together the teriyaki sauce ingredients (see below) in a small saucepan: 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 1/4 cup sake, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Bring the teriyaki sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1 lb of thinly sliced steak and/or chicken breast to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
  6. Add 2 chopped scallions (spring onions) to the skillet and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  7. Pour the cooled teriyaki sauce over the meat and vegetables. Stir-fry for another minute, allowing the sauce to coat everything evenly.
  8. Serve immediately over rice for a complete Benihana experience.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
