Teriyaki Stir Fry Beef (or Grilled Tofu) Freezer Meal |
Teriyaki Stir Fry Beef is a super-easy freezer meal for beef that is very well received when I make it.
I buy Beef from the butcher section of the grocery that is labeled "For Stir Fries" and is precut to shape.
I toss the Beef & Marinade into a freezer bag, label, and toss in the freezer.
The day before making it, I pull it down to the fridge and thaw it in a plastic box (to prevent any yucky leaks).
Preparation is easy.
First I start a batch of rice - because this is one of those great recipes you can make while the rice cooks!

Meanwhile, I add water (a volume about equal to the marinade) and the reserved marinade to a saucepan and boil it for 5 minutes. This is for food safety reasons.
I Dissolve 1 Tablespoon of Tapioca Starch or Cornstarch in cold water, and stir well.
Then, when the Beef is done, I add the boiled Marinade to the skillet, and let it return to a boil, which flavors the sauce with the beef drippings.
I add about 1/2 the Cornstarch mixture to the pan, and return to a boil. If the sauce is thick enough, I'm done, and I can serve it over the rice that's just finishing. If it needs to be a little thicker, I add a little more of the mixture to thicken it a bit more.
Teriyaki Marinade for Beef (or Tofu):
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup Sherry (or other Dry Wine, or Rice Wine)
1 Tablespoon Oil
2 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (I use the kind from a jar sold in the grocer's produce section)
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Garlic

Trader Joe's sells a Teriyaki sauce that's scrumptious on meat or salmon. I will try your recipe instead of buying it! Theirs also has sesame seeds in it, which I will probably add to it.
