Ingredients

• 1 lb sirloin steak
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 12 bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red chili flakes to make the marinade.

Step 3

Add the steak cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 4

While the steak is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Thread the marinated steak cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 7

Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is 135°F/57°C, medium is 145°F/63°C). Remember to turn the skewers occasionally to achieve even char marks.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the skewers with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as an appetizer or with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
