Canyon Ranch Teriyaki Steak
When we were teenagers, going out for dinner to have teriyaki steak was fun and a novelty. This was in the hey day of the Polynesian influence in restaurants and decor in sunny California, with flaming cocktails served along side entrees that only had a modicum of authenticity, but were colorful and fun. As we grew older and began to appreciate a fine steak sans toppings, teriyaki steak, with its thick sugary glaze, became a thing of the past. Fortunately grilling and cooking has evolved again and now you get the both of best worlds — a grilled steak with ample flavor and a less sugary glaze which compliments, rather than hides, your meal. We don’t have tiki decor on the patio anymore, but we still light torches to serve this entree.
