Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry

  • 2-3 pounds London Broil (or other lean steak)
  • 1 cup sake
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • sriracha to taste

Put the steak in the freezer for a couple hours to make it easier to slice. Slice it across the grain (it may help to butterfly it first) in very thin strips. Mix the other ingredients in a large bowl; dump the steak in and marinate at least overnight. (play with the proportions, I didn't measure anything so I'm guessing. You may need more liquid to cover all the steak.)

The next day, cut into bite size pieces:
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • .5-1 pound broccoli (I used two broccoli florets)
  • 3-4 zucchini
I also added two cans of baby corn and a can of bamboo shoots. Whatever you like, add it.

Heat an electric wok to 325 degrees; add a small amount of oil. Stir fry the steak in small batches. Be careful; it burns QUICK, as do the sugars left in the bottom of the wok. When you're done with the meat, add a little more oil and the carrots, zucchini, baby corn, and bamboo shoots. Stir fry briefly. Remove them from the wok and add the leftover marinade; bring it to a boil for 2 minutes. Add a little more sake, soy sauce, or vinegar until the wok is about half full. Dump the broccoli in and let it boil for a minute or two. Add everything else back in, stir, and cover for about 5 minutes. Serve over rice (preferably brown rice, cuz it tastes the same and is better for you).

It looks like this:
