Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 500g steak
- 500g chicken breast
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the meat by patting the steak and chicken breast dry with paper towels to ensure proper seasoning and searing.
- Season both the steak and chicken breast generously with salt and pepper on all sides, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and hot.
- First, sear the steak for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness. Remove and let rest on a cutting board.
- In the same pan, cook the chicken breast for 5-6 minutes per side, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- Pour teriyaki sauce over both meats while they are still hot, allowing the sauce to caramelize and coat the surface.
- Let the meats rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, which helps maintain moisture and tenderness.
- Slice both the steak and chicken against the grain into thin strips for optimal texture.
- Arrange the sliced meats on a serving platter, drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce if desired.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice or your preferred side dish.
Tips
- Pat the meat completely dry before seasoning - this is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown sear and preventing steaming.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan for the best heat distribution and beautiful caramelization.
- Let your meats come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking and maximum tenderness.
- Always slice meat against the grain to guarantee the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Don't rush the resting period - those 5 minutes allow juices to redistribute, keeping your meat incredibly succulent.
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the meats in teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes to 2 hours before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee perfect doneness, especially for the chicken's food safety.
