Teriyaki Steak Sauce

Teriyaki Sauce
| soy sauce | 1/2 cup | |
| mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine) | 1/2 cup | |
| sake | 1/4 cup | |
| brown sugar | 1/4 cup | |
| garlic, minced | 2 cloves | |
| fresh ginger, grated | 1 tablespoon | |
| cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp. water (optional, for thickening) | 1 tablespoon |
Directions
In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
If you prefer a thicker sauce (more glaze-like), stir in the cornstarch-water mixture. Increase the heat to medium and stir continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. This should take around 2 minutes.
Allow the sauce to cool down a bit. It can be used as a marinade for your steak before grilling, or you can brush it on the steak while it’s cooking. You could also serve it as a sauce on the side.
