This little beef kebab is perfect as an appetizer or part of a main course. Yes, Yakitori means grilled bird, but this method and marinade is just to good to leave it to only chicken. If you really want tradition eat this with a cold beer.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound beef sirloin, chopped into thin strips
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
Preparation:
In a small mixing bowl combine soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, oil, sesame seeds and onion. Set aside. Thread beef onto pre-soaked bamboo skewers, pushing the skewer in and out of the meat as though sewing. You should have enough meat for 16-18 skewers. Place skewered meat in marinade, make sure it is well coated. Place in a large pan, cover and allow to refrigerate 3-4 hours.Preheat grill for medium high heat. Take skewered meat out of pan and discard marinade. Place on grill and cook for 3-4 minutes turning occasionally. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
