happens.

Here's a recent instance:

In a heavy cast iron skillet brown 1 1/2 pounds lean stew meat or stir-fry chicken with 1/2 cup sliced onion and 3/4 cup sliced bell peppers. Once meat is browned remove all from pan and set aside, keeping warm; into pan drippings stir the following:
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup orange juice
and simmer until reduced by half.
Put the meat and vegetables back in the sauce.
Toss and heat through; sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Serve over rice.

Is this a stew? How about some pictures? I'm hungry!

Alas, I have no digital camera.

Think carne guisada.

No Habla Espanol, BUT ................. aren't you forgettin the:

Tomatoes
Onion
and Jalapenos ?

nope. that's what the cayenne and oj are for!

It's just not the same!

Good recipe though!

I'd intended to make teriyaki and didn't have any soy in the house.
This was good; it tastes a lot like 'orange beef'.

You should check out my teriyaki grilled salmon I posted a week ago. You can't beat it if you like salmon.

Sounds good send me some! I'm gonna print that one out may increase the garlic a little, mmmmm mmmm good.

Hey, this sounds really good and simple.

I think if you're doing beef though, the key gotta be the kind of meat you buy.

But I HATE Teriyaki. Everything you add it to winds up tasing the same. It just tastes like that cheap Teriyaki sauce.

that's the thing, Ira -- there's no teriyaki flavor involved. It's not really sweet & sour either -- more like sweet & hot.

Sorry to hear about your taste buds going out, Ira!

You just don't know until you try something different.........!

I HAVE tried it. My wife uses it all the time, and to me, it just hides the taste of everything.

I put filet mignons on the grill, and she'll cover that fantastic beef flavor with terriyaki. It drives me NUTS!

I basically like the taste of it though, and use it for stir-fry--which I haven't done in a really long time.

Ira,
Try this at home: get a tall can of crushed pineapple and two tablespoons of crushed garlic, three tablespoons of minced fresh ginger, four minced serrano peppers, and a four-ounce jar of cherry preserves. Put it all over low heat and cook, stirring, until the volume in the pan reduces by half.
Now strain it through a very fine sieve, add a teaspoon or two of soy sauce.

Presto: not-teriyaki.

I AM doing this one! Half of the ingredients is stuff I already use, and the other half sounds like it goes GREAT with the rest!

Sounds like a sauce you can use with anything, and I'm guessing you would either brush it on right at the end of your grilling, use as a dipping sauce, or both.

What do you do?
