My kids love sushi and when I made this Speedy Beef Teriyaki recipe for the first time, they eyed it off sceptically. I told them I got the recipe from the lady at our local sushi shop and watched as they immediately ate an entire bowl, asking for seconds and declaring this “their favourite meal ever”. I’ve been making my own teriyaki sauce for years. It is made with simple ingredients and tastes incredible, although you can absolutely make this recipe with store-bought teriyaki sauce when you really need dinner on the table fast. The teriyaki sauce is added to minced/ground beef and is simmered until sticky and golden. You can serve this meal with any vegetables of choice but edamame beans, shredded carrot and shredded cabbage are firm favourites here, especially when teamed with a big dollop of creamy mayonnaise! On the table in less than 20 minutes, this is a fantastic dinner for quick weeknights and is sure to make it to your meal plan rotation again and again.
