Absolutely delicious and so easy! Remember to double the sauce recipe as your family will clamor for more!
Glad you enjoyed it Carrie. You can use the sauce for steak, vegetables or to make a bowl of plain rice delicious!
why not use premade teriyaki sauce?
Hi Mary, It is always an option to use bottled ingredients. If you like to cook from scratch, this teriyaki sauce is pretty darned delicious. On occasion I do use a premade teriyaki sauce, because I think it is darned good on beef. See this recipe for my favorite brand.
