Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml rice vinegar
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 15 grams erythritol
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 12 bamboo skewers, soaked
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Slice the beef sirloin into bite-sized cubes, roughly 2 cm in size.
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and erythritol to make the marinade.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Add them to the marinade and stir well to combine.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the beef is marinating, chop the green onions into small pieces for garnishing.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Place the beef skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the yakitori with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately with additional soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
