Marinade
- In a mixing cup, combine the 100% fruit juice, broth, soy sauce, mirin, garlic, and ginger. Add about 8 grinds of black pepper.
- Pour the Teriyaki Sauce into a 1-gallon resealable plastic freezer bag and add the oil. Add the desired beef, seal, and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Discard the marinade after using.
Stir-Fry Sauce
- For a stir-fry sauce, do not use the oil, but mix in the cornstarch.
- Add to the wok at the end, cooking just until the sauce thickens to coat the other ingredients, 60-90 seconds.
- This sauce keeps, covered in the refrigerator, for 2 days.
