Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup Low sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 8 pieces Skewers
Instructions
Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin and cut into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch each.
Mince garlic cloves and grate ginger.
In a bowl, combine low sodium soy sauce, mirin, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Place the beef cubes in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are well-coated.
Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
While the beef is marinating, chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the beef cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of green onion.
Grill the skewers for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and has a nice char.
Baste the skewers with any remaining marinade during the grilling process for added flavor.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
