Beef Yakitori

This homemade beef yakitori offers a sophisticated take on Japanese street food, combining tender sirloin steak with the charred sweetness of spring onions. The savoury marinade, prepared with reduced-sodium soy sauce, fresh ginger and garlic, creates a rich glaze that coats the meat without being overly salty. It is a light yet deeply satisfying dish that brings authentic smoky flavours to your kitchen or garden barbecue.

As a diabetes-friendly option, these protein-rich skewers are perfect for those seeking a low-carbohydrate meal that does not compromise on taste. The use of lean steak and aromatic spices makes this recipe both heart-healthy and nutritious. Serve these skewers as a vibrant starter or alongside a fresh green salad for a balanced, low-sugar dinner that the whole family will enjoy.

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 cucharaditas de semillas de sésamo tostadas

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.
