Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin
- 1 medium Fresh pineapple
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 12 sticks Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a mixing bowl.
Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into 1-inch chunks roughly the same size as the beef pieces.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Pour 2/3 of the marinade over the beef cubes, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Reserve the remaining 1/3 for basting. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to marinate.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the beef and pineapple chunks onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the two for an even distribution.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes. Brush the skewers with the reserved marinade each time you turn them.
Grill until the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness and the pineapple is slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish alongside rice or a fresh salad.
