"This is NOT like the thick sauce you get from a bottle, so please be warned! It is however absolutely melt in the mouth divine, and a real treat in our home! Recipe is from The Age newspaper (I think!), can easily be doubled."

This was fantastic! We omitted the sugar because we don't like super sweet stuff. We also cooked our sauce a little longer and it thickened up nicely. By far the best teriyaki sauce we've ever had, except for some really high-end restaurants. This was so delicious and so easy to make, I'm sure we'll do it again!

I absolutely LOVE this. I've gotten this at Benihana's and it wasn't as good as this recipe. Since I don't like onions, I just omit that part of the recipe. My husband loves this and so do his parents and my best friend. This is one of our favorite meals.

My daughter loved this steak but my son did not care for it one bit, so lucky her... more for her to eat. Very easy to prepare and cook. Sauce thickens really fast though, in fact, by the time I tried to pour it over the steak, it had solidified like taffy. Thank you for sharing.

This was a big hit with DH. We both loved the sauce. I used a sirloin steak and 3 tbsp sake instead of sake and mirin, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. This recipe is going right into my favorite beef cookbook, and it will be made regularly.

Made with fried mushrooms as well. Quick and easy! My son enjoyed this. Thanks!
