What is the best meat to use for beef teriyaki?

If you decide to use a steak that needs to be sliced, you can either have your butcher slice it or you can do it yourself.  It is much easier if the steak is frozen just a little before you start slicing it.  Put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before you slice it. 

Carne Picada: Thinly sliced beef usually a cut of chuck beef. but 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. 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.  

Beef Teriyaki Marinade

This Beef Stir Fry Marinade is super simple and can be made ahead of time.  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 and add to the marinade.
4. Peel and dice the fresh ginger and add to the marinade. (Use can also use ground ginger if you don’t have any fresh ginger on hand.
5. Add the Garlic, Oil, and Brown Sugar. 
6. Stir the marinade until all the pieces of beef are covered.  
7. Cover the bowl (or zip the bag) and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
