Best Type of Steak To Fry In a Skillet
I used New York Strip steaks to make my teriyaki steak. You can use any type of steak to make this recipe. Just remember that if you use a thicker steak, it will take longer to cook completely.
And if you use a tougher cut, you should marinate it for a longer time to allow the acids in the marinade to break down the meat.
This recipe will taste delicious with sirloin or rib eye. And also use your food thermometer to check the internal temperature. A medium steak should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145F.
Keto Chinese Sides
Keto teriyaki steak is one of my favorite Chinese entrees of all time. The marinade fills the steak with so much flavor!
It’s actually pretty easy to make a Chinese dinner at home and still stay within your macros.
Start out with keto egg roll in a bowl. It tastes like your favorite egg rolls and nourishes your body with nutrients. Then, add some cauliflower rice and sesame ginger broccoli slaw to the table. Now your dinner is complete!
Storage
This is the perfect thing to make for your weekly meal prep! As the steak sets in the fridge, the marinade soaks more into the meat and enhances all the flavors! Here’s how to store it so it lasts.
