How to Make Teriyaki Shish Kebabs

  1. Cut 1 lb steak into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Peel and cut 2 large onions into 1-inch thick slices.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons sake, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger.
  4. Add the steak pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  6. Drain the beef, reserving the marinade.
  7. Thread the meat, pineapple chunks (1 cup), and onion slices onto long skewers, alternating ingredients.
  8. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for 15-20 minutes, turning frequently, until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender.
  9. In a small saucepan, simmer the reserved marinade over low heat for 15 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  10. Remove the meat and vegetables from the skewers.
  11. Serve the kebabs immediately, drizzled generously with the simmered teriyaki marinade.
