I have no idea where I got the inspiration for this dish. My Wife has been watching Desperate Housewives (it’s … okay!), so maybe it was Terri Hatcher -> Teriyaki? Regardless, this is definitely one of the best dishes I’ve ever made. Takes a little bit more effort than my other dishes but worth it.

Steps

1 Hour (Active)

1

Marinade your MEAT in (1) cayenne pepper; (2) lime juice; and (3) red wine vinegar. While marinading prepare your mise en place, including dicing your ALLIUMS 1 and ALLIUMS 2 as well as mixing your TERIYAKI SAUCE. I would hold off on the GARNISH and STARCH for now.
2

In a neutral oil on high heat in a Dutch oven or sautee pan, fricasé the MEAT. About five minutes a side. Maybe longer if the marinade is being tricky.
3

Lower heat to medium and add ALLIUMS 1 and TERIYAKI SAUCE. Cook for ~7 minutes and stir occasionally.
4

Remove and set aside the MEAT. Then - AND THIS IS TRICKY - reserve approximately 1/3 of the TERIYAKI SAUCE and ALLIUMS 1 mixture. We want to be able to glaze later if necessary and we do not want too much sauce to prevent our ALLIUMS 2 from cooking. This is a tricky part and you may need to eyeball / adjust!!! Regardless, once done keep heat at medium, add ALLIUMS 2. Cook for ~7 minutes. Should be verrrrry fragrant.
5

Re-add your MEAT and set heat to Low. Keep at a simmer.
6

Prepare your STARCH in a rice cooker or instant pot. Once finished, I like to add sesame seeds, diced leek, and butter.
7

Dice you GARNISH and wash your GREENS.
8

Plate: (1) STARCH on bottom; (2) MEAT / TERIYAKI SAUCE on top; and (3) adorn with GARNISH and GREENS. LISTO!
