Teriyaki Beef Marinade

Teriyaki Beef Marinade is so versatile and can be used on many different cuts of meat.  No matter what beef cut you choose, this teriyaki marinade will make it delicious!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

Marinating a piece of meat is the perfect easy meal idea. All you have to do is toss that marinated meat onto the grill and you’ve got an easy, delicious meal! This recipe was given to me by a good friend years ago and it’s been a favorite at our house ever since. I cubed the meat up for shiskbaob but you can also just leave the piece of meat whole.  The benefit of shiskabob is there is more meat exposed to absorb the marinade, making the meat more tender and give it more flavor.

Ingredients Needed

  • Garlic. 
  • Ginger. Fresh is best but if you need to use dry, use half the amount 
  • Soy sauce. Can also use low sodium soy sauce.
  • Sugar. You can use granulated sugar or brown sugar. You could also substitute honey.
  • Sesame oil
  • Green onions or scallions. For garnish
  • Meat of choice. Use sirloin steaks, flank steak, ribeye or round tip steak.

How to Make teriyaki beef Marinade

  • Mix together all ingredients except for meat and green onion in a saucepan.
  • Bring to boil until sugar dissolves. Cool mixture.
  • Pour over meat and marinate for 4-6 hours or overnight
  • Grill meat to desired doneness.

How to Use Teriyaki Beef Marinade

Shiskabob

  • Cut your meat into 2-3 inch pieces prior to marinating.
  • Marinate 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • After marinating place meat onto skewers.
  • If using bamboo skewers be sure and soak them in water before using so that they don’t burn up on the grill!

Steak

  • You can also just marinade a whole steak and then grill. If you are not cubing your steak you could also use skirt steak (it is too thin to cube)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this marinade on something other than beef?


Yes! This marinade works great not only on beef but on pork or chicken as well.

What cut of meat should I use with teriyaki beef marinade?

One of the perks of using a marinade is you can use less expensive cuts of meat because the marinating process tenderizes the meat.  I use top sirloin a lot but you can also use flank steak, london broil, skirt steak, round steak.  I like to marinate the meat for at least 4-6 hours or overnight if possible.

How long do I marinade meat for?

Beef or Pork. You want to marinade for a minimum of an hour but 6-8 hours or overnight is best.
Chicken. An hour minimum but you but it should marinade for about 4-6 hours for the best flavor. Any longer though and the meat begins to break down and get mushy.
Shrimp. It only needs to marinade for 30 minutes.
