Instructions

  • Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Marinate the Beef: Place the beef cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the beef. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for better flavor.
  • Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  • Thread the Beef onto Skewers: Remove the beef from the marinade and thread it onto the skewers. Discard the marinade or reserve it for basting while grilling.
  • Grill the Skewers: Brush the grill with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Baste with reserved marinade during grilling, if desired.
  • Garnish and Serve: Once the beef is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
