instructions
    1

    Begin by slicing the beef into thin strips against the grain, this will help it remain tender while cooking.

    2

    In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki sauce.

    3

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.

    4

    Add the beef strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking, until browned.

    5

    Pour the teriyaki sauce over the beef and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef.

    6

    While the beef is simmering, slice the green onion and reserve for garnish.

    7

    Once the beef is cooked and the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat.

    8

    Serve the Teriyaki Niku hot, garnished with sliced green onions, and enjoy!
