Ingredients;
For the Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Kebabs:
1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 red onion, cut into chunks
8-10 cherry tomatoes
Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, gochujang, honey, toasted sesame seeds, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the marinade is well blended.
2. Marinate the Beef:
Place the cubed beef into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the prepared marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to let the flavors infuse into the beef.
3. Assemble the Kebabs:
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Skewer the Ingredients:
Thread the marinated beef cubes, bell pepper chunks, red onion chunks, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients to create beautiful and colorful kebabs.
5. Grill the Kebabs:
Place the assembled kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, rotating occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender with a slight char.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Once the Korean Beef Kebabs are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter.
Optionally, garnish with additional toasted sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
Serve the gorgeous Korean Beef Kebabs hot and enjoy their delightful blend of Korean-inspired marinade and juicy beef and vegetables.
