How to Make Pete's Teriyaki Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add the meat (shish kebab pieces, steak, or pork chops) to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Baste the meat generously with the marinade during cooking. Cook to your desired level of doneness, using a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  4. Remove the meat from the grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Strain the remaining marinade through a fine-mesh sieve.
  5. In a small saucepan, bring the strained marinade to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Serve this delicious teriyaki sauce over rice as a gravy.
  6. **Optional:** For a spicier kick, add 1-2 finely chopped Thai chilies to the marinade.
