Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 8 wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 2
Trim any excess fat from the sirloin steak and slice it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Add the sliced sirloin steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the steak from the marinade and thread the strips onto the soaked skewers, weaving them in a zigzag pattern. Discard any leftover marinade.
Step 7
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 8
Sprinkle the grilled skewers with sesame seeds and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad.
