Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin (or flank steak), thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 10 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while cooking.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

Step 3

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a separate bowl for basting later.

Step 4

Place the thinly sliced beef into a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over the beef. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 6

While the grill is heating, thread the marinated beef slices onto the skewers, folding them as needed to fit.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, combine the reserved marinade with a cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water) and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a glaze. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the hot grill or under the broiler. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting with the thickened teriyaki glaze during the final minute of cooking.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a minute before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately as an appetizer or alongside steamed rice and vegetables for a full meal.
