Beef teriyaki is a quick and easy Japanese cuisine famous around the world. Savory and umami beef dishes that require few ingredients.

Do you like Japanese food? Some Indonesians usually don’t like Japanese food like sushi and sashimi which use raw ingredients. But it’s different with beef teriyaki. We (and almost every old people here) really like beef teriyaki. Of course because the main ingredient is meat. Don’t you like it, too?
Teriyaki is a way to cook Japanese food that is heated or baked and coated with soy sauce and flavored sake/mirin/sugar. While making teriyaki, the ingredients to be baked are dipped and smeared with teriyaki sauce several times until they are fully cooked.
The difference from the original recipe is because we are Muslims, we don’t use sake and mirin. Therefore, we replace it with sugar and vinegar. In this recipe, we omit the vinegar.
Beef teriyaki is Japanese cuisine that very popular in Indonesia. But here beef teriyaki isn’t usually cooked for daily meals. Usually it is served for large events or big occasions such as a wedding or a buffet. Sometimes we can find it in a Japanese restaurant, too.
Nonetheless, It’s very easy and you can cook it at home for your dinner using easy-to-find ingredients. It’s also very quick and you only need about half an hour.
