I cook for my family of 6, whose tastes differ drastically. My criteria for new recipes are easy dishes with few ingredients that appeal to me.
When I found this recipe, I loved that it was only 6 ingredients & a 1 hour soak time.
I used flank steak sliced thin, fresh grated ginger, fresh pressed garlic, & Kikkoman Soy Sauce. I cooked the meat & marinade in a skillet, omitting the oil. Half way through I drained off most of the marinade. I flipped each piece often until they were done. The soy sauce was pungent but I got thumbs up from all.
Trying it again, I decreased the soy sauce to ¼ cup and increased the water to ½ cup. It didn’t have the punch it had the first time, but was still a winner.
The 3rd time I made it, I noticed the ratings, stunned to see 1 star. This time, I adjusted the soy sauce/water to ½ cup each, & a spoonful of brown sugar. Wonderful.

I'm not sure how it ended up bitter for one reviewer, but I agree with Anonymous that it isn't the best teriyaki in Hawaii...or the big island...or the Hilo side even. However if you are driving north of Hilo and are hungry it isn't bad!

As for the recipe, I add sweetness (brown sugar works well and I've tried molasses which is different but good also and I also like a bit more edge so I usually add a bit of black pepper to the meat while cooking.

I'm a native of the big Hawaii and Tex Drive Inn is not the place for terriyaki. I make my Terriyaki sauce with 1 part soy sauce and 1 part sugar (half white and half brown about a 1/4 cup of water, minced garlic and minced ginger to taste.. Marinate the beef or chicken for at least 6 hours or overnight for better flavor. BBQ and enjoy..

I was really looking foreward to a good tasty steak teriyki. This was so bitter that you couldn't eat it. The steak turned out okay after I nearly burnt it to get the bitter taste off. Good luck with this one.
