How to Make Asian Beef Skewers
- 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.
- Trim excess fat from 1 lb flank steak or sirloin. Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes.
- 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).
- Thread the beef cubes onto metal skewers or presoaked bamboo skewers, alternating with green onion pieces (about 4-6 per skewer).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Brush the beef skewers with the remaining marinade.
- 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).
- 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.
