For the Skewers:

  • 1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin, flank steak, or skirt steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes if using wooden skewers

For garnish (optional):

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sliced red chilies

 

Instructions:

Prepare the Teriyaki Marinade:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake or sherry, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are well combined.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the marinade. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can skip this step.

2. Marinate the Beef:

  • Place the thinly sliced beef in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
  • Pour the teriyaki marinade over the beef, making sure it is fully submerged. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate the beef for 2-4 hours or overnight.

3. Preheat the Grill:

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are evenly hot and glowing.

4. Thread the Beef onto Skewers:

  • Remove the beef from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
  • Thread the marinated beef slices onto skewers, weaving them back and forth in an accordion fashion to ensure even cooking. Leave a small space between each piece of beef to allow for airflow and even browning.

5. Season the Skewers:

  • Brush the beef skewers with vegetable oil or sesame oil on all sides to prevent sticking and promote caramelization.
  • Season the skewers with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

6. Grill the Skewers:

  • Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and has nice grill marks.
  • Baste the skewers with any remaining marinade or a fresh batch of teriyaki sauce while grilling for extra flavor and moisture.

7. Serve:

  • Once the beef skewers are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
  • Garnish the skewers with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and sliced red chilies for added flavor and visual appeal.

8. Enjoy:

  • Serve the beef teriyaki skewers hot off the grill, and enjoy the delicious flavors of tender beef marinated in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce!

 

Recipe Notes:

It is possible to add bits of bell peppers, onions, or pineapple to the skewers in order to give them additional flavor and texture. This makes for a variety.

In order to prevent the wooden skewers from catching fire on the grill, it is imperative that you soak them in water for a minimum of half an hour before threading the beef onto them.

You may also cook the beef skewers indoors by using a grill pan or broiler that is set to high heat. This option is available to you if you want.
If you have any leftover beef teriyaki skewers, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days if you put them in an airtight container. You should reheat them in the microwave or the oven before serving them.

These simple beef teriyaki skewers are guaranteed to be a hit at your next barbecue or party because of the tempting teriyaki taste and delicious steak that they contain. Feel free to indulge in them as a delectable starter, main course, or as a component of a grilled feast!
