Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- For the marinade:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- For the skewers:
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 red bell pepper (cut into chunks)
- 1 yellow bell pepper (cut into chunks)
- 1 large red onion (cut into wedges)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- For garnish:
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- 1. Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, then cool completely.
- 2. Place beef cubes in a ziplock bag with 3/4 of the marinade. Reserve remaining marinade for basting. Marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight preferred).
- 3. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- 4. Thread beef and vegetables alternately onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.
- 5. Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F). Brush grates with oil.
- 6. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), basting with reserved marinade during last minute.
- 7. Transfer to platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
Notes
• Soak skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning
• Cut vegetables slightly larger than beef as they cook faster
• Can substitute chicken or tofu for beef
• For extra flavor, brush skewers with additional marinade after grilling
