Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 60 milliliters Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 Green onions, finely sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 10 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef into strips about 1/4 inch thick and 3-4 inches long. Place the meat in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, gochujang, rice vinegar, and one sliced green onion.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread 3-4 slices of marinated beef onto each skewer, leaving a little space between the slices for even cooking.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grilled skewers with the remaining sliced green onion and sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy!
