Recipe Notes
The teriyaki sauce you choose in the grocery store can vary widely in flavor and in sodium content. Most contain a lot of sodium and in most cases are made with soy sauce so they also contain wheat gluten. Annie Chun’s brand of gluten-free teriyaki sauce is pretty good (we also really like their brown rice Pad Thai noodles).
Most teriyaki dishes are really overpowering and you can easily use too much sauce in your dish. Start with a little bit of sauce and add more to taste when you are cooking. In this case, you might use a little less sauce in the beef, but then you can spread a bit more sauce on the bun before toasting, if you like.
