Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for grilling)
- 8 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into roughly 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
While the beef marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the wooden skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating frequently, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers warm, garnished with extra sesame seeds and sliced scallions if desired. Pair with rice, salad, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
