Savor the Flavor: Irresistible Teriyaki Sesame Beef Skewers

Learn how to make delicious Teriyaki Sesame Beef Skewers. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

To make these delicious skewers, here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, cut into chunks
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Feel free to swap out the beef for chicken or tofu if that’s more to your liking. And if you’re really in a pinch, you can use pre-cut beef from the store—your secret is safe with me!

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This will be your marinade.
  2. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if you have the time. This step is crucial for flavor!
  3. While the beef is marinating, soak your wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning on the grill.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill, make sure it’s nice and hot before you start cooking.
  5. Thread the marinated beef, bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the beef and vegetables for a colorful presentation.
  6. Carefully place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your liking and has nice grill marks. Aim for a medium-rare finish for the juiciest bites!
  7. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving. This adds a delightful crunch!

Cooking these skewers always reminds me of the joy of feeding my family. There’s something comforting about watching the kids get excited as they see the vibrant colors of the skewers sizzling away.
