Categories     House & Garden

Yield Makes 12 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 9

Teriyaki Marinade
1/2 cup mirin (sweet rice wine) or dry sherry
1/2 cup soy sauce, preferably reduced-sodium
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon finely grated or minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon pressed or minced garlic
3/4 pound sirloin or tri-tip steak
8 green onions, trimmed to 4 inches from root end
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • 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 green 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 green onion, alternating, onto one end of each skewer. Grill the skewers until the meat is nicely browned and just a bit pink in the center, 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.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 lb sirloin or tri-tip steak
8 green onions, trimmed to 4 inches from root end
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
TERIYAKI MARINADE:
1/2 c mirin (sweet rice wine) or dry sherry
1/2 c soy sauce (low sodium)
1/2 c chicken broth
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced or finely grated
1 tsp garlic, minced or pressed

Steps:

  • 1. To make the marinade, combine the mirin, soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan.
  • 2. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute.
  • 3. Pour the marinade into a shallow dish large enough to hold the meat and set aside to cool.
  • 4. Cut the beef into 24 (1-inch) squares about 1/2 inch thick.
  • 5. Add the beef to the cooled marinade, stir to evenly coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • 6. Cut the trimmed green onions into thirds. Soak 12 (4- to 6-inch) bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
  • 7. Preheat an outdoor grill.
  • 8. Thread 2 pieces of beef and green onion, alternating, onto one end of each skewer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. For yakitori, you'll want to use a cut of beef that is tender and flavorful, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or rib eye. Avoid using tough cuts of beef, as they will not cook evenly on the skewers.
  • Marinate the beef. Marinating the beef before cooking will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sake is a good place to start. Be sure to marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use bamboo skewers. Bamboo skewers are the traditional choice for yakitori, as they are strong and easy to handle. Be sure to soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using, to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the yakitori over a hot grill. Yakitori is best cooked over a hot grill, so that the beef can sear quickly and evenly. Cook the beef for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Serve the yakitori with your favorite dipping sauce. Yakitori is traditionally served with a dipping sauce, such as teriyaki sauce, ponzu sauce, or yakitori sauce. You can also serve it with a simple sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

Yakitori is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make yakitori that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give yakitori a try!
