Oy Soy! 10 Minute Meal, baby!

Lest you think I make fancy dinners every night (my family is rolling on the floor laughing as I type this), I thought I would let you in on a little secret. I can do a 10 minute meal. Rachael Ray has nothin' on me! I call it "Hibachi" Steak, because it tastes just like the dish you get at Benihana's, but instead of paying $39.50, it only costs you $3.50 for a bottle of Soy Vay. True, at Benihana's you get watery soup and soggy bean sprouts with squash, but I'd put my "Hibachi" Steak up against theirs any night. I use the original "Veri Veri Teriyaki". (Yes, you purists can make your own teriyaki sauce . It only takes 5 minutes to make, but then this would be a 15 minute meal, and I could be accused of false advertising.)




"Hibachi" Steak
Peanut (or vegetable) Oil - 3 - Tbl.
1 1/2 lbs. chuck steaks, cut into 3x3 inch cubes
Fresh Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
Portabella Mushrooms - sliced, pre-packaged (optional)
Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki - 1/4 - 1/2 a bottle

Heat oil in large saute pan. Throw in cubed steak, garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring after the first 3 minutes, until desired doneness (we like it medium rare, so about 5-6 minutes total cooking). During last minute of cooking, dose liberally with teriyaki sauce. 

Serve with rice (the trio likes jasmine rice), and some steamed sugar snap peas (4 minutes in the microwave, - gotta love those Green Giant Steamers!), and you've got a meal in 10 minutes.
