Teriyaki Stir Fry Beef (or Grilled Tofu) Freezer Meal

Teriyaki Stir Fry Beef (or Grilled Tofu)

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!

Simply Marinated Grilled Tofu

I heat a nonstick skillet, and remove the Beef from the marinade with tongs, and saute it in the skillet, reserving the marinade. I cook it well, till there are little browned places on the Beef.

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
