How to Make Asian Beef Bites

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, sherry, soy sauce, barbeque sauce, onions, garlic, and ginger.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of the sauce mixture. Set aside to marinate (at least 15 minutes, longer is better).
  3. Preheat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the marinated beef bites, turning frequently, until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Pour the remaining hoisin sauce mixture over the seared beef. Mix well to coat.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  7. Add the pineapple chunks and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until heated through and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Add reserved pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon at a time if needed.
  8. Serve the Asian Beef Bites immediately over hot cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions (optional).
  9. **Alternative Skewer Method:**
  10. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes.
  11. Thread beef bites and pineapple chunks onto the skewers.
  12. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  13. Grill skewers for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and the pineapple is slightly caramelized.
  14. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Drizzle with extra hoisin sauce, if desired.
