Grilled Teriyaki New York Steak is juicy, tender and an easy recipe to prepare. The sweet and savory flavor is amazing, a definite family favorite!
Summer is here and time to fire up the grill! We grill a lot during the summer months, easy dinners don’t have to skimp on flavor. A thick steak marinated to perfection, steak teriyaki can be prepared the night before and toss it on the outdoor grill the next day for dinner. Do you prefer chicken or shrimp instead?

Ingredients for Teriyaki Steak

- Steak: Bone in or boneless
- Soy sauce: you can use regular or low-sodium soy sauce.
- Brown sugar: Both light and dark will work
- Red pepper flakes: add a nice little kick but you can leave it out.
- Ginger: Fresh grated is best but the ground can be used in a pinch.
How to make Grilled Teriyaki Steak

- Step 1: In a small bowl whisk together the ingredients and set aside.
- Step 2: Place steaks in a bowl or large gallon zip-top bag and pour half of the marinade over the steak. Marinate for at least 4 hours I recommend overnight for the best flavor.

- Step 3: Add the rest of the teriyaki sauce to a medium saucepan with the cornstarch
- Step 4: Simmer on medium-high heat until thickened, then set aside.

- Step 5: Place the marinated steak on a hot grill rack over direct heat. Discarding any remaining marinade, grill the steak to the desired doneness.
- Step 6: Remove the steak and brush with the reserved teriyaki marinade. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing, and serve with a side of homemade teriyaki sauce.
Why this recipe works
Teriyaki sauce tenderizes and makes for a highly flavorful steak, even with the cheaper cuts of beef. Soaking it in the marinade for several hours and then throwing it on a hot grill makes an easy weeknight meal for beef teriyaki with minimal cleanup, like my Spicy Teriyaki Steak Kebabs.

Recipe tips
- Marinating the beef for at least 4 hours and for the best flavor overnight.
- Let the steaks come to room temperature before placing them on the grill.
- If you don’t have an outdoor grill this indoor smokeless grill does a pretty good job.
- Cooking time can vary if your steaks are super thin or thick. That’s why it’s so important to use a digital meat thermometer.
- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with some extra sauce and thinly sliced green onions for garnish.
