Recipe Overview

Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Total Time: 40–45 minutes
Servings: 2–4
Ingredients
- 2 New York strip steaks (about 1 lb / 450g each)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar or mirin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Teriyaki Marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper.
2️⃣ Marinate the Steaks
- Place steaks in a shallow dish or ziplock bag.
- Pour the marinade over the steaks and let them sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge) for extra flavor.
3️⃣ Preheat the Grill
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
4️⃣ Grill the Steaks
- Remove steaks from marinade and pat lightly dry.
- Grill for 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time based on thickness and desired doneness).
- Optional: Brush with leftover marinade during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
5️⃣ Rest & Serve
- Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve alongside steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Tips for Perfect Steak
- Room temperature: Let steaks sit at room temp for 15–20 minutes before grilling for even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the grill: Give each steak space to sear properly.
- Marinade control: Avoid using all the marinade as sauce raw — simmer it briefly first if you want to serve it on top.
