Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 whole red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 whole yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 whole red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1.5 cup pineapple chunks
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk together until sugar is dissolved to form your teriyaki marinade.

Step 2

Set aside 1/3 cup of the marinade for basting and dipping later.

Step 3

Place the beef cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 5

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, combine the reserved marinade with cornstarch and water. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens to a glaze consistency (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.

Step 7

Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Thread the beef, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks onto the skewers, alternating for a colorful presentation.

Step 8

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended). Brush the skewers with the prepared teriyaki glaze during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for a sticky, flavorful coating.

Step 10

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the remaining teriyaki glaze on the side for dipping or drizzling.
