Beef Yakitori

Ingredients for Beef Yakitori

• 120ml mirin (sweet rice wine) or dry sherry

• 120ml soy sauce, preferably reduced-sodium

• 120ml chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon finely grated or minced fresh ginger

• 1 teaspoon pressed or minced garlic

• 350g sirloin or tri–tip steak

• 8 spring onions, trimmed to 4 inches from root end

• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

How to make Beef Yakitori

To make the marinade, combine the mirin, soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Pour the marinade into a shallow dish large enough to hold the meat and set aside to cool.

Cut the beef into 24 (1–inch) squares about 1/2 inch thick. Add the beef to the cooled marinade, stir to evenly coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Cut the trimmed spring onions into thirds. Soak 12 (4– to 6–inch) bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour.

Preheat an outdoor grill.

Thread 2 pieces of beef and spring onion, alternating, onto one end of each skewer. Grill the skewers until the meat is nicely browned and just a bit pink in the centre, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a plate or small platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Set the plate on a warming tray to keep warm, if you wish.
