    What is the best meat to use for Teriyaki beef stir fry recipe?


  • Carne Picada: Thinly sliced beef usually a cut of chuck beef. Meat labeled as Carne Picada may also contain other lower-grade cuts of beef. It's super easy to use since it is already thinly sliced.

  • Sirloin Steak: A lean, tender, and flavorful cut of beef.  It's usually on the inexpensive side as far as steaks go. Sirloin strips are nice and tender too. A great option for a beef stir-fry.

  • Tri-Tip Steak: Loaded with great beef flavor and usually has a nice marble.  It's tender when seared and easy to find.

  • Other Steak: You can make a beef stir-fry with just about any kind of beef steak.  You can cut around bones and large pieces of fat easily.  Just cut the steak into thin slices or small bite-sized pieces.  
  • How long should you marinate beef?

    You can marinate beef for as little as 30 minutes and as long as 24 hours. At least 2 hours is preferred as the marinade breaks down the beef and makes it more tender when cooked. For thinner cuts of beef, 2 hours is optimal. You can marinate longer if you have larger cuts of meat.

    What is Terikai sauce made of?

    Teriyaki Sauce is typically made of soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, ginger, garlic, and green onions.

    What is carne picada?

    Carne Picada is thinly sliced beef. Carne picada recipes are usually made from an inexpensive cut of chuck beef. The most important aspect is being thinly cut.

    Beef Teriyaki Marinade

    This Beef Stir Fry Marinade is super simple and can be made ahead of time. It's quick and easy too.  If you find beef on sale at the market, make up a bunch of this marinade, make batches perfect for your family size and freeze it for later.  

    1. Thinly slice the beef.  (if you freeze the steak for about an hour, the beef will slightly freeze and it will be much easier to cut.) Slice it into thin, bite-sized strips. 
    2. Add the beef to a Ziplock bag or a medium-sized bowl.  
    3. Thinly slice the green onions, peel and dice the garlic and ginger and add to the marinade. (Use can also use ground ginger if you don't have any fresh ginger on hand. Add the oil, and brown sugar. Mix
    4. Add the slices of beef and stir the marinade until all the pieces of beef are covered.  
    5. Cover the bowl (or zip the bag) and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 24 hours. Marinating your beef for at least two hours will ensure you have deliciously seasoned beef.

    Tips for Teriyaki Stir Fry Beef

    • Marinate the meat at least 2 hours before making. You can marinate for as little as 30 minutes but if you marinate longer, your beef will be more tender when cooked. The acidity in the marinade breaks down the beef to make it more tender.
    • Don't marinate more than 24 hours or your meat may begin to have a mushy texture.
    • Prepare all your ingredients before you begin cooking.
    • If you slightly freeze your meat before slicing, it will be much easier to cut.
    • Slice your meat thin so it will sear quickly.
    • If you can't find carne picada, you can thinly slice a chuck roast or any steak.
    • Use a wok, cast iron pan or a non-stick skillet
    • Cook the stir fry fast and hot.
    • Add ingredients to a skillet according to the cooking time. This will ensure your vegetable are cooked perfectly and your meat is done.
    • Stir the ingredients often, separating the pieces so they can cook evenly.
    • Thicken the stir fry sauce if needed. 
    • Have rice or noodles ready when the stir-fry is ready.
    • Serve immediately.

      You didn't add the 1 1/2 cups of soy sauce to the marinade. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't watched the video.
      Add the Garlic, Oil, and Brown Sugar.

      Just went back over the recipe and outside of the ingredients, no mention of soy sauce.
