How To Make beef yakitori
-
Step 1To make the marinade, combine the mirin, soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan.
-
Step 2Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute.
-
Step 3Pour the marinade into a shallow dish large enough to hold the meat and set aside to cool.
-
Step 4Cut the beef into 24 (1-inch) squares about 1/2 inch thick.
-
Step 5Add the beef to the cooled marinade, stir to evenly coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 6Cut the trimmed green onions into thirds. Soak 12 (4- to 6-inch) bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
-
Step 7Preheat an outdoor grill.
-
Step 8Thread 2 pieces of beef and green onion, alternating, onto one end of each skewer.
-
Step 9Grill the skewers until the meat is nicely browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 2 minutes per side.
-
Step 10Transfer the skewers to a plate or small platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
-
Step 11Set the plate on a warming tray to keep warm, if you wish.
