🧄 The Secret Marinade
The key to a delicious teriyaki steak lies in the balance of salty, sweet, and tangy.
Soy sauce brings the savoriness, molasses adds a caramel depth, and Dijon mustard ties everything together with a subtle kick. Fresh garlic and ginger elevate the flavor, giving it a truly restaurant-quality finish.
Simply whisk the ingredients, pour them over the steaks in a Ziploc bag, and let time do its magic. A few hours in the fridge lets the meat soak up every bit of that umami goodness.
🔥 Grilling to Perfection
When it’s time to cook, heat your grill until it’s screaming hot. Sear each side of the steak for that gorgeous char while keeping the inside juicy.
Remember to let the steaks rest for 10 minutes before slicing — this step locks in all those flavorful juices.
