Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 tsp five-spice powder
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Shaoxing wine, oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, five-spice powder, and white pepper.
- Add beef cubes and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread 4-5 beef cubes onto each skewer.
- Grill skewers, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked to desired doneness, about 8-10 minutes for medium.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
Tips
- For extra flavor, baste with reserved marinade during grilling.
- Serve with steamed rice and a side of stir-fried vegetables.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
