Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml rice vinegar
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 15 grams erythritol
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 12 bamboo skewers, soaked
Directions
Step 1
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
Slice the beef sirloin into bite-sized cubes, roughly 2 cm in size.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and erythritol to make the marinade.
Step 4
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Add them to the marinade and stir well to combine.
Step 5
Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 6
While the beef is marinating, chop the green onions into small pieces for garnishing.
Step 7
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 8
Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Step 9
Place the beef skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 10
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 11
Garnish the yakitori with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Step 12
Serve immediately with additional soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
