Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 10 pieces Skewers (bamboo or metal)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick and 4-5 inches long. Place them in a large bowl or zip-top bag.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the beef strips. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Step 4

If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

Thread the marinated beef strips onto the skewers, weaving them in a ribbon-like pattern. Leave space at the ends of the skewers for safe handling.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grates or pan lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot as an appetizer or with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
