Korean Beef Kebab Recipe

Ingredients

bamboo or metal skewers
1 pound tender beef, such as rib-eye or filet mignon, cut into thin 2-inch-long strips
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 or 6 green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 package rice cake sticks

Directions

1. Soak the short (5- or 6-inch) bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile put the beef in a medium bowl, add the soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper, and toss to combine, making sure all the beef is coated with the marinade. Let sit for at least 20 minutes.
3. Using 2 parallel skewers, thread the beef, green onions, and rice cakes alternately on the sticks.
4. Prepare a medium-hot coal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium. Grill the skewers until the meat is browned on both sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Serves 5-6.
