Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cubed
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cubed
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 red onion, cubed
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 8 metal or bamboo skewers
Instructions
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes into the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces (roughly 1-inch).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
Thread the marinated beef cubes and prepared vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between beef and vegetables.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, turning to ensure even cooking. Total grilling time should be approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately while hot, optionally accompanied by steamed rice or a fresh side salad.
