Ingredients

Scale
  • lbs beef sirloin, cut into thin strips

  • ½ cup soy sauce

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 mins)

Instructions

  1. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper.

  2. Marinate the Beef: Add beef strips and let them soak in the marinade for at least 1 hour (or overnight for more flavor).

  3. Skewer the Beef: Thread the beef strips onto soaked bamboo skewers like ribbons.

  4. Grill to Perfection: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Sprinkle with sesame seeds or green onions if you like!

Notes

  • Soak the Skewers: Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill.

  • Slice Thin & Even: Cut beef into thin, even strips so they cook quickly and stay tender.

  • Marinate Longer: The longer the beef marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Overnight is best!

  • Don’t Overcrowd: Leave a little space between each piece on the skewer so the heat cooks all sides evenly.

  • Grill Hot & Fast: A hot grill gives you that beautiful sear and keeps the beef juicy.

  • Rest Before Serving: Let the skewers sit for 2–3 minutes after grilling to keep them moist.
