Step 1: Slice the ingredients
For this recipe, I kept the chewable ingredients at a bare minimum. Beef for protein and a yellow onion for crunch. The rest of the flavor will come from the marinade.
Chop up an whole yellow onion in the bite size chunks.
For the protein, I used pre-sliced stir fry beef strips. Most grocery stores have these in the meat cases. If not, pick your beef of choice and slice it into thin strips. Slice the strips in half for an easy bite and set aside.
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
Step 2: Prepare the spicy teriyaki marinade
I recently received the new Hella Hot Japanese sauce from my friends at Bachan’s and wow is it packed with flavor and heat! Really not much else you need to amp up the volume.
To make the spicy teriyaki sauce I keep things simple. In a mixing bowl, add the hot Japanese sauce, rice vinegar, corn starch, sugar and some Dad’s All Purpose seasoning for the salt. Mix the ingredients together and drop in the beef slices. Place the marinated beef in the fridge for at least 30 minutes but if pressed for time, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the beef to absorb some of the marinade flavors.
Recipe Tip
If you cannot get your hands on the new Bachan’s Hella Hot sauce, mix together 1 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce and 2 tbsp hot sauce to get a similar flavor profile. Adjust heat level depending on spice tolerance.
Step 3: Time to grill up the spicy teriyaki beef.
Preheat the grill to a high heat and set for indirect heat if you are not using a griddle.
First, place the chopped onions on the heated flat top. Season with Dad’s Sweet BBQ rub for some sweetness to balance the heat. Toss them around to evenly grill them up.
Next, drop the marinated spicy teriyaki beef strips next to the veggies and spread them apart making sure each strip is getting a nice char. Continuously flip them hibachi style. Blend the beef and onion together and grill until fully cooked.
Top the spicy teriyaki beef over some freshly cooked rice, sprinkle freshly chopped green onions and enjoy!
