Yakiniku is a delicious Japanese grilled meat dish, featuring tender slices of beef marinated in a savory-sweet sauce and grilled to perfection. Paired with fresh vegetables and rice, this dish is not only satisfying but also packed with protein.

Ingredients

• Soy sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Mirin - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
2. Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips and add to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell peppers and zucchini.
4. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with sesame oil.
