KOREAN BEEF KABOBS (ASIAN)
I've been making this dish for years and it never fails to draw rave reviews. Using a good cut of meat is key, so it will be very tender. I use beef tenderloin or sirloin (choice at the minimum). The longer you marinate the beef the better the flavor (over night at a minimum). Cooking time does not include time to marinate.

Steps:
- Cut tenderloin or sirloin beef up into big chunks (2" x 2" cubes). Score 1/4' deep all sides with a sharp knife (several slices per side). Using a two prong fork, pierce the meet repeatedly on all sides (3 or 4 times per side). This will allow the juices to work their way deep into the meat.
- Chop the scallions (just the white part) and mince the garlic.
- Add all the ingrediences together and pour over the meat in a non-reactive container. I use a large zip lock bag.
- Marinate the meet for at least 12 hrs (24 is best).
- Place the meat on skewers with your choice of veggies in between. I like onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
- Grill over hot coals turning occasionally and brushing often with remaining marinade. Cook to desired doneness.

KOREAN SHORT RIB KEBABS
When Martha made this recipe on Cooking School episode 411, she used bone-in short ribs and omitted the skewers. She also doubled the marinade but did not use any apple juice. Hot kimchi (store-bought is fine) is great with the sweet, gingery ribs.

Steps:
- Toss the chicken in the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Thread each thigh on two long metal skewers, so that each skewer pierces one side of the thigh. Keep threading the chicken, making sure it's packed onto the skewers tightly. Chill until you're ready to cook. Mix the ingredients for the glaze.
- Heat the BBQ. If using a coal BBQ, wait for the coals to turn ashen before you start cooking. Cook the kebab for 5-8 mins on each side (depending on the heat). Once nicely charred but not fully cooked through, start painting on the glaze. The honey will catch if cooked for too long - the key to nice sticky chicken is applying the glaze in layers, turning the kebab often.
- Once the glaze has been used up and the chicken is cooked through (it'll take about 20 mins in total), transfer to a plate and leave to cool for 5 mins before serving scattered with spring onions.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the kebabs will be. Look for fresh, tender meat, and flavorful vegetables.
- Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple combination of olive oil, garlic, and herbs is always a good choice.
- Cook the meat over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy.
- Don't overcook the meat: Overcooked meat is tough and chewy. Cook the meat until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the kebabs with your favorite sides: Korean kebabs are traditionally served with rice, but you can also serve them with noodles, salad, or vegetables.
