Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 10 pieces Skewers (bamboo or metal)
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick and 4-5 inches long. Place them in a large bowl or zip-top bag.
In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef strips. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the skewers, weaving them in a ribbon-like pattern. Leave space at the ends of the skewers for safe handling.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grates or pan lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot as an appetizer or with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
