mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is a healthier fat, while canola oil is more budget-friendly.

Cook rice according to package instructions and keep warm.

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain excess fat from the skillet if necessary.

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped green onions.

Serve the teriyaki beef over cooked rice and top with sesame seeds and additional vegetables.
