  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

680 grams hanger steak for the main protein that absorbs the marinade well

14 grams grated ginger to impart zesty warmth and antioxidants

8 grams grated garlic for aromatic depth and flavor enhancement

2 tablespoons sake to add depth and help tenderize the meat

1/4 teaspoon salt to season and balance the flavors

1 tablespoon vegetable oil for coating the steak during marination

1/4 cup soy sauce for the teriyaki sauce, providing savory umami

1/4 cup sake for the teriyaki sauce, enhancing the glossy finish

1/4 cup evaporated cane sugar for the teriyaki sauce, to create sweetness and caramelization

Instructions

1-First: trim any silverskin or connective tissue from the 680 grams of hanger steak to ensure tenderness. Then, coat the steak evenly with a mixture of 14 grams grated ginger, 8 grams grated garlic, 2 tablespoons sake, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors soak in.

2-Second: while the steak marinates, prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup sake, and 1/4 cup evaporated cane sugar in a pot. Boil this mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, creating a glossy glaze that will coat the steak perfectly.

3-Third: heat your grill to high and cook the steak for about 4 minutes per side until a browned crust forms. For added flair, turn the steak at a 45-degree angle to create diamond grill marks, and use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness aim for 125ยฐF for rare up to 160ยฐF for well done for the best results.

4-Fourth: remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes to preserve its juices before slicing against the grain. This resting period is crucial, as it locks in moisture and enhances tenderness.

5-Finally: drizzle the steak with the prepared teriyaki sauce and garnish with black sesame seeds and chopped scallions for a visually appealing finish. Serve it hot, perhaps over rice or veggies, and remember tips like keeping marinade and sauce separate to avoid burning for that ideal glossy result.
