This fantastic recipe for a homemade teriyaki sauce works perfectly with a nice cut of steak over the direct heat of the grill. The rich flavors of the sauce will become a family favorite. Best of all, it is just a 30 minute marinade!
Combine all the marinade ingredients into a bowl and mix.
Pour into a gallon Ziploc bag and add the steaks. Seal the bag and give it a good shake so the marinade spreads evenly on the steaks.
Marinade for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. I recommend placing the Ziploc in a plastic container just in case it leaks. It can create a mess if it drips all over the fridge (trust me).
After 30 minutes, remove the steak and discard the marinade.
Grill the Teriyaki Steaks
Heat the grill to 375°F and oil the grill grates so the steak does not stick.
Place steak on grill over the direct flames and cook each side 6-7 minutes, depending on the temperature you prefer. Times will vary depending on various factors including the thickness of the steak. I like to aim for medium-rare (130°F-135°F) to medium (140°F-145°F).
Let the steak rest for 10 minutes after taking off the grill to allow the juices to settle in the steak and not run out. This simple step helps the steak retain its juiciness!
