Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for grilling)
• 8 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef sirloin into roughly 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 4

While the beef marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating frequently, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the skewers warm, garnished with extra sesame seeds and sliced scallions if desired. Pair with rice, salad, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
