Preparation

  1. 1.
    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, red wine vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to make the marinade.
  2. 2.
    Place the sliced beef steak or tofu in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure all pieces are coated evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. 3.
    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

    Remove the beef steak or tofu from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  5. 5.
    Grill the beef steak or tofu for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. If using a stovetop, cook in a hot grill pan or skillet for the same amount of time.
  6. 6.
    Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  7. 7.
    Serve the Argentinian-style Teriyaki with a drizzle of chimichurri sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Beef steak — For a tender and juicy result, choose a well-marbled cut like ribeye or sirloin. Make sure to slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Tofu — Press the tofu before marinating to remove excess moisture and enhance its ability to absorb flavors.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a smokier flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes in the marinade.
  • Serve the Argentinian-style Teriyaki with grilled vegetables or a side of rice for a complete meal.
  • Substitute the beef steak or tofu with chicken or shrimp for a variation of flavors.
  • Make extra marinade and reserve some for basting while grilling for an intensified flavor.

Serving advice

Serve the Argentinian-style Teriyaki as a main dish, accompanied by a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Drizzle some chimichurri sauce over the meat or tofu for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley to add a touch of freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the grilled beef steak or tofu on a platter, drizzle the chimichurri sauce over it, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. For an elegant touch, garnish with a few whole parsley leaves. Serve with the side dish and enjoy the vibrant colors and enticing aroma of this fusion creation.
