Ingredients
  

For the Steak Skewers:

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1- inch piece of ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the cubed steak to the marinade and mix until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Prepare the Skewers:

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Thread the marinated steak cubes onto skewers, ensuring the pieces are spaced evenly.

Grill the Steak Skewers:

  • Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your preferred level of doneness (medium-rare to medium is ideal).

Serve:

  • Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and additional sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can marinate the steak ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight for an even richer flavor.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Feel free to add a dash of chili flakes or hot sauce to the marinade if you prefer a spicier kick.
  • Storage Tips: Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the grill for a few minutes.
  • Allergy-Friendly: For a gluten-free version, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative in place of regular soy sauce.
