A bottle of sesame-ginger dressing makes this amazing dish doable on a weeknight. You can broil the beef, too, but we live in the South where people grill pretty much all year long. My pineapple-y slaw and rice finish off the dinner. -Janice Elder, Charlotte, North Carolina

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak are all good choices for beef skewers. These cuts are relatively thin and tender, and they cook quickly.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger, or you can get creative and try different flavor combinations.
  • Skewer the beef: Use metal skewers or bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help to prevent the skewers from burning.
  • Cook the skewers over high heat: This will help to quickly sear the beef and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular choices include teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, or a simple soy sauce and rice vinegar mixture.

Conclusion:

Sesame beef skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can have these skewers on the table in no time. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty meal, give sesame beef skewers a try!
