Ingredients

Teriyaki Sauce

2 cups water
2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce see note
2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar (71 grams)
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
6 cloves garlic minced

Teriyaki Beef

2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound skirt steak sliced into thin pieces (453.6 grams)
4 cups broccoli florets about 2 medium heads of broccoli (298 grams)
4 cups cooked rice (890 grams)
green onions sliced for garnish

Instructions

In a mixing cup, combine the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce. Divide the sauce into two halves. One will be used to marinate the beef. The other will be used in cooking the recipe. Alternatively, you can use a store-bought teriyaki sauce and marinate the meat in 1 cup of sauce. (Read about why we marinate here.)
2 cups water, 2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, 6 cloves garlic
In a sealable container, combine the beef strips and one half of the teriyaki sauce. Marinate for 2 hours. Then remove the beef from the marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
1 pound skirt steak
Mix the remaining teriyaki sauce with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
2 tablespoons cornstarch
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the beef and brown for just a minute or two.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Add in the other half of the teriyaki sauce. (If using store-bought, add 1 cup.) Bring the mixture to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for three minutes.
Add the broccoli to the skillet (no need to stir it in), cover, and cook for 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
4 cups broccoli florets
Add one cup of rice to each bowl. (Or make this a low carb recipe by serving it over cauliflower rice.) Then add the teriyaki beef and broccoli. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and enjoy!

Notes

Please note that the gluten in soy sauce keeps this recipe from being gluten-free. If your family is gluten-free, you will want to replace the soy sauce with tamari.
