Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Prepare teriyaki sauce: In a saucepan, mix soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Simmer over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then whisk into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook over low heat for 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and carrot, sauté for 3 minutes until onion is translucent and carrot begins to soften.

  4. 4

    Add broccoli florets and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring frequently. Push vegetables to the side, increase heat to high, and add beef slices. Sear beef quickly—about 90 seconds per side until barely cooked through.

  5. 5

    Pour the teriyaki sauce over beef and vegetables, reduce heat to low, and toss gently to coat everything. Simmer for 2 minutes to meld flavors, then remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Divide extra rice among bowls (generously, as desired), layer the teriyaki beef and vegetables over rice, and drizzle with remaining sauce.
