Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, vegetable oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 4

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl for basting later.

Step 5

Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

Step 7

Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill or on a broiler pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes and basting with the reserved marinade, until the beef is caramelized and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 9

Transfer the skewers to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.

Step 10

Serve the caramelized beef skewers hot with a side of steamed rice, fresh salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
