Ingredients for Asian Beef Skewers

  • Garlic Cloves
  • Fresh Ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Sesame Oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Sirloin Tip Steak
  • Green Onions

How to Make Asian Beef Skewers

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
  2. Trim excess fat from 1 lb flank steak or sirloin. Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes (longer is better, up to 30 minutes).
  4. Thread the beef cubes onto metal skewers or presoaked bamboo skewers, alternating with green onion pieces (about 4-6 per skewer).
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Brush the beef skewers with the remaining marinade.
  7. Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare).
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
