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.
