Description
Juicy beef skewers marinated in a savory teriyaki glaze, perfect for barbecue gatherings.
Ingredients
- 12 wooden or bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 1 hour)
- 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds (toasted)
- 2 pounds boneless beef sirloin roast (sliced 1 cm thick against the grain)
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons garlic (pressed)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice or fresh crushed pineapples
Instructions
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for one hour.
- Toast the white sesame seeds in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- Grind the cooled sesame seeds in a mortar or a zip-top plastic bag with a rolling pin.
- Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels and trim away any connective tissue.
- Slice the roast into approximately 2 x 3 inch pieces, 1 cm thick.
- In another bowl, whisk together the dark brown sugar, soy sauce, pressed garlic, sesame oil, mirin, hoisin sauce, and pineapple juice.
- Pour the marinade over the sliced beef, mix well, and refrigerate for one hour.
- Skewer about six slices of beef on each stick and place skewers on a tray lined with aluminum foil.
- Bring excess marinade to a boil in a saucepan until thickened for basting while grilling.
- Grill skewers on medium-high heat (approximately 400°F) for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked and sticky.
Notes
For additional flavor, baste with reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
