Steak Teriyaki

I made a turkey teriyaki quite a while back and I remember it being fairly good but I honestly cant remember if it was worth not trying another recipe I stumbled across. I found this teriyaki Linkdressing here...http://westonaprice.org/beginner-videos/beginner-videos/salad-dressings-and-basic-sauces-video-by-sarah-pope
She has several other home made condiment recipes so feel free to browse what she has listed there. I edited the recipe to suit what I had on hand and felt good about so here is the sauce I ended up with.

Teriyaki Sauce

2 TBL grated ginger
6 peeled and mashed garlic cloves (I use the pre-minced in a jar and just guesstimate)
2 TBL extra virgin olive oil (I didnt have sesame oil but I bet that would be better)
2 TBL apple cider vinegar (my rice wine vinegar had HFCS in it so I refused to use it, need to pitch it)
2 TBL agave
1 cup braggs liquid aminos (or soy sauce read the ingredients to make sure there is nothing funky)

I mixed that all together in a jar in a mad rush to get out the door to work. Once I made it to work I poured the sauce on the meat and let it marinate all morning. I had 3 little round steaks so I cooked them on medium high heat for 3 min each side. Then I removed the steak from the skillet and set aside. I poured the sauce into the same skillet and added 1 Tablespoon of whole wheat flour whisked it in and boiled it until the sauce started to thicken. Add in my boiled (plain) broccoli and rice (cooked in water with no butter) and I had a pretty delicious meal.

There are of course a few tweaks I will make next time. I think I will cut the soy sauce in half and sub in water or almond milk for the remainder. The sauce was just really to salty for me even after being dulled by the completely unseasoned broccoli and rice. Trust me folks if I say something is too salty do not try it! It is very rare I think something is too salty I love salt! I would also love to try this with the sesame oil and ideally with some rice vinegar if I can find some without added sweetener and other funkiness.
