As winter plows on and buries us in polar vortices, I'm
always on the lookout for fast, easy dinner recipes that can be finished
quickly, without having to sacrifice flavor or quality. I've been borrowing
heavily from Nigel Slater's excellent recipe book Real Fast Food, and even begun to ponder Rachael Ray's milieux in a
new light. The beef teriyaki recipe I share today, however, is purely a
creation Aaron and I jiggered together over much practice of laying a speedy
weeknight table. A little leeway taken with a package of minute rice turns this
into a quick "one pot meal," and leveraging a hot oven cooks all the
ingredients at once with minimal hands-on time. The end result is tender and
flavorful, with the luminous gloss that gives teriyaki its name. This recipe
feeds a family with ease and can be scaled up to feed an army as needed, but
the real beauty, aside from the vivid colors, is speed of assembly.
