Soy Glazed Beef Recipes

EASY SOY-GLAZED BEEF AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and chili sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over high heat; swirl to coat pan. Season steaks with salt and pepper; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Pour off fat from pan; add green beans and 1/3 cup water. Reduce heat to medium. Cover; cook until beans are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes (add more water if pan becomes dry).
• Thinly slice beef. Pour soy mixture into pan; toss. Return beef and any accumulated juices to pan; cook (uncovered) until heated through. Add bean sprouts; toss to combine.

SOY-GLAZED BEEF

Steps:

• To make the marinade, blitz the garlic, chilli and ginger in a blender until finely chopped. Add the soy or teriyaki sauce and ketchup, then pulse until completely blended. Put the beef in a dish and smear over the marinade. Leave in the fridge to marinate for up to 24 hours, the longer the better.
• To cook the beef, fire up the barbecue and, when flames subside and coals glow, lay it fat side down and char for about 5 mins to get fat sizzling. Flip it over and cook for 40 mins for medium rare, turning occasionally until all sides are charred. If the barbecue has a lid, use it for a smokier flavour. A few mins before taking the beef off, drizzle over brandy or bourbon (if using) to flambé the meat.
• Lift the meat onto a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for at least 10 mins. Carve the beef into slices like a roast and serve with any juices.

SOY-GLAZED BEEF BURGER

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until wilted and slightly aromatic but not browned. Add 1 tablespoon of the saké and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the onion to cool to room temperature.
• In a bowl, combine the beef, panko, and egg. Add the miso and the cooled onion and knead with your hands to ensure even distribution. The Japanese will often gather the meat mixture, lift it, and throw it back with force into the bowl, repeating this action 4 or 5 times - a bit like baseball practice. Although the mixture will be fairly soft, the pitching ensures the meat mass will hold together. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions, and shape each portion into an oval patty about 4 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide, and 3/4 inch thick.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the same skillet you used to sauté the onion and place over medium heat. When hot, add the patties and sear on the first side until browned, about 1 minute. Flip and sear the second side, pressing to flatten. The surface may crack a bit, but this is of no concern. Lower the heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon saké, cover, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes for medium-rare. To check for doneness, press the meat with your fingertip or the back of a spoon. It should feel fairly firm. Then, poke a patty with a toothpick. The juices should run slightly pink. For a well-done burger, cook, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes. When pressed, the meat will feel very firm and juices will run clear.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar and hot water and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the soy sauce and stir again to mix thoroughly. Return the skillet to high heat and pour the soy mixture into it, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure all the sugar is added. Shake the skillet to coat the beef patties, and flip them once after a minute to make sure they are evenly glazed.
• Serve the burgers hot, spooning any extra sauce on top.

SWEET SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the soy glaze with the rice vinegar and garlic. Divide the sauce between 2 small bowls and add 2 tablespoons water to one bowl; set aside.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until the skin is golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 4 more minutes. Pour the thinned soy glaze mixture over the chicken. Transfer to the oven and bake, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the vegetables, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the remaining soy glaze mixture.
• Remove the chicken from the oven; brush with the remaining soy glaze mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve with the vegetables and rice.

SOY-GLAZED RIB-EYE BITES

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic in a small baking dish. Add the steak and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, then let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and grill, turning once, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese, lime juice and sesame oil in a bowl until smooth. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a small piping bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe a little bit of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber round and arrange them on a serving platter.
• Slice the steak into 3/4- to 1-inch-thick cubes and place one on top of the cream cheese on each cucumber. Top with a few Fried Shallots and serve immediately.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan until very hot (about 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer).
• Toss the shallots with the cornstarch. Add half of the shallots to the oil and fry, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining shallots. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Let stand at room temperature until ready to use.
