Korean Beef Skewers

These flank steak skewers are marinated in a delicious soy and sesame oil sauce with garlic and ginger.

Ingredients

For the steak:

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean flank steak thinly sliced against the grain
  • 10 bamboo skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

For the Sesame Soy Marinade

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 6 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger do not use powdered
  • 5 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 bunch green onions roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat an outdoor grill to high heat.
  2. Make sure the flank steak is very cold before you slice it into strips. Slice and set aside.
  3. In a plastic Ziploc bag, combine all of the ingredients except the toasted sesame seeds and green onions. Mix together until combined. Add the flank steak pieces to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 48 hours.

  4. Weave about 2 slices of marinated flank steak onto each bamboo skewer. Grill the skewers for approximately 2 minutes on each side for medium rare. They should be crispy and brown on the outside. Remove from the grill and serve garnished with the sesame seeds and green onions.

Recipe Notes

You can thread the meat on the skewers two hours ahead and refrigerate them until ready to grill.
