Grilled Beef Yakitori

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.
