Best Ever Asian Beef Skewers

Print Recipe
Enjoy easy and delicious Asian Beef Skewers, a perfect mix of flank steak and bold Asian flavors. Ideal for grilling outdoors or indoors, these skewers are quick to prepare and guaranteed to impress.
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:5 minutes
Marinating Time:2 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak or skirt steak
  • 2 green onions diced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons roasted red chili paste
  • 3 Tablespoons sherry
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 16 metal skewers or wooden skewers at least 8 inches long. Soak skewers if they're wooden to prevent burning

Instructions

  • Mix the green onions, soy sauce, roasted chili pepper paste, ginger, and garlic in a large ziplock bag.
  • Next, cut the flank steak across the grain into about 48 1/4-inch slices. Place the thin strips of steak into the Ziplock bag, close it, and massage the resealable plastic bag well to ensure the marinade completely coats the meat. Chill for at least 2 hours but not more than 24.
  • When you're ready to prepare the steak, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the Ziplock bag, discard the marinade, and thread three slices onto each skewer.
  • Grill the skewers for about two minutes, flip, and grill the second side for another two minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.

Notes

A grill pan can be your best friend if you're making these skewers indoors. Heat it over medium-high heat, and cook the skewers in batches, turning them once, until they're caramelized and cooked to your liking. Just like on the outdoor grill, about two minutes per side should do the trick.
