A quick and easy version of beef teriyaki using ground beef that’s ready in less than 20 minutes!
Teriyaki style dishes are among my favourites and this is a super simple ground beef version that comes together in no time! This recipe is as simple as cooking the beef and an onion before adding garlic and ginger along with the teriyaki sauce. (Teriyaki sauce is a combination of soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar.). All said and done, this tasty teriyaki beef comes together in less than 20 minutes, about the time that it takes to steam some rice to serve it over! I usually add veggies to the beef teriyaki or cook the separately to make a complete meal in no time!
Add some veggies such as diced red bell pepper and shredded carrots!
