30-Minute Steak Teriyaki

It’s Monday night and there’s hardly time to cook.  Yet you want something scrumptious, healthy, and doesn’t include the word takeout.  This 30-Minute Steak Teriyaki is the perfect solution.  Easy, fast, healthy, and absolutely delicious.  So fork-tender, even the kids love this one.

If you poke around here, you’ll discover how much we love our Teriyaki.  Baked Teriyaki Chicken.  Grilled Teriyaki Chicken. The BEST burger in the whole wide world.  Even Teriyaki Meatloaf — have no fear; it’s awesome!

I wonder why it’s taken me so long to include Steak Teriyaki into our dinner mix.  #questionoftheday

I’ve just always assumed steak teriyaki would be harder for the kids to eat because it would be tougher than chicken or shrimp or…yeah, meatloaf (surprisingly delish)…

But here I stand corrected.  Happily, humbly so.  Game-changingly corrected.

This Steak Teriyaki proved to be juicy, tender, and easily devoured by The Littles.  Even the Littlest licked his plate clean.  In fact, I eagerly anticipated leftovers for lunch the next day, but there was zip left.  Zippo.

Hubby asked why I never made steak teriyaki before.  I don’t know, something about the kids, their little teeth… yada yada.

After cooking, the strip steaks are sliced super thin, against the grain.  That allows the beef to be extremely tender and to soak up all the scrumptious sauce.  And I mean scrumptious.

Next time I make this, you know I’m doubling it.

This steak teriyaki over fluffy rice would be awesome as leftovers for lunch the next day. Yeah, I’m still fixated over the fact that I didn’t get a lunch out of it.

The flavorful, savory, slightly sweet sauce keeps well and tastes so good, you’ll want to slather it over everything.

Maybe even over your next meatloaf.

Enjoy!

  1.  Grilled Teriyaki Chicken.  On the other hand, when you do have access to grilling or it’s nice out, go for it!  I almost always have this homemade sauce in the fridge, ready for the grill at any given moment.

  • Share this post with a cookie lover! 🍪 These sugar cookies are HUGE and dangerously delicious! ✨ Save this post! Full recipe below! 👇 (For Printable Recipe Card and Notes: https://www.chewoutloud.com/best-big-soft-sugar-cookies/) Ingredients: 6 cups all purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda ¾ teaspoon table salt 1 cup whole sour cream 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup salted butter, slightly softened* 4 large eggs, room temperature 1 teaspoon almond extract For the Frosting: 1 cup salted butter, slightly softened* 3 cups confectioners' sugar ½ tsp almond extract ½ tsp vanilla extract ⅛ tsp salt 2 TB milk Instructions: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed, beat the sour cream, sugar, butter, eggs, and almond extract until well combined. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the sour cream mixture until fully combined. The dough will be somewhat sticky. Cover the bowl, and chill the dough in the fridge for an hour or until it is firm enough to roll out. Lightly flour a working surface. Divide the chilled dough into quarters, and roll out one quarter at a time, keeping the remaining dough in the fridge until ready to use. Roll each quarter to ¼ inch thickness, and use a cookie cutter 2-inch in diameter to cut out circles. Preheat the oven to 250F, and position the rack on the lower middle position. Arrange the cookie dough on parchment or silicone-lined baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Bake 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are a light golden-pale color. Do not overbake! Cool on the cookie sheet 10-15 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the butter for 3-4 minutes or until it is light and fluffy. Add the sugar, and continue to whisk until well combined. Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk on medium-high speed until fully incorporated. Add one tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. If desired, whisk in food coloring.

  • Save this post for your Christmas parties! 🎄 Just 3 ingredients make these buttery, moist and insanely delicious cookies! ✨ Save this post! Full recipe below! 👇 (For Printable Recipe Card and Notes: https://www.chewoutloud.com/3-ingredient-buttery-shortbread-cookies/) Ingredients: 2 cups salted butter, cold and cut into pieces 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed 4 ½ cups all purpose flour, divided Optional: sprinkles to suit any occasion throughout the year Instructions: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and brown sugar. Using paddle attachment on medium-high speed, mix until fluffy and light, several minutes. Add only 3 1/2 cups of the flour and mix on medium-low speed until combined. On a large board, sprinkle 1/2 cup flour to keep dough from sticking to the board. Use rubber spatula to transfer dough to the board. Knead dough by hand for 5 minutes, adding only as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as needed to make a soft dough, while continuing to knead by hand. The dough should end up soft and pliable, similar to play-dough, not sticky. Work in desired amount of sprinkles, if using. Important Note: You may not end up using all the flour, depending on how your dough feels; it's important to stop adding flour as soon as your dough feels like soft play dough. Divide dough into thirds, wrap tightly, and chill for at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll and cut shapes. Meanwhile, reheat oven to 325F, with rack on lower middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats; set aside. Roll one-third of the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness – lightly flour board if needed. Either cut into 3×1 rectangular strips, triangles, or use cookie cutters (I like 1-2" cookie cutters, but feel free to use your favorites). Place each cookie 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Poke cookies with fork on top for a design, if not using sprinkles. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. For smaller cookies, bake closer to 15 minutes; bake longer for larger shapes. Repeat with the remaining dough, working in batches so dough stays chilled and workable. Cool completely on wire rack before serving.
