Teriyaki Beef Skewers

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 28 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak thinly sliced
  • 0.33 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Method
 

  1. Simmer the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan.
  2. Stir the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth, whisk the slurry into the saucepan, and cook until the teriyaki thickens. Cool slightly.
  3. Reserve half of the sauce in a clean bowl for grilling. Toss the sliced beef with the remaining half and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  4. Thread the beef ribbons onto skewers and discard their marinade.
  5. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing only with the reserved clean teriyaki, until caramelized and cooked to your preferred doneness.

Notes

Slicing the steak against the grain keeps every bite tender.
