Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Add the cubed flank steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated steak cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
- During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the skewers and allow them to toast slightly.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the steak with firm tofu or mushrooms and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Serve with a side of steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
