Asian Steak Kebabs
Description
The Asian Steak Kebabs recipe combines 2-pound cubes of steak with a marinade made from honey, soy sauce, ground ginger, and garlic powder. After marinating for at least two hours, the steak is threaded onto skewers and cooked over medium heat on a grill or under a broiler. The marinade imparts a balance of sweetness and umami, while the grilling method adds subtle smoky flavors and a slightly crisp surface. The cubed steak format speeds up cooking and allows for easy portion control.
The texture contrasts between the tender, juicy interior of the steak cubes and their seared edges make this kebab a balanced and satisfying meal. The method suggests rubbing oiled paper towels on the grill grates to prevent sticking, improving the cooking experience.
These kebabs can be served as a main dish with sides or accompaniments of choice. Using wooden skewers requires soaking them first to prevent burning, which is a helpful detail for safe grilling. The recipe notes also indicate the importance of marinating to achieve flavor depth.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs steak cut into 1 in. cubes
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 c. soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together all ingredients except steak. Marinate steak in marinade, tossing to coat for at least 2 hours.
- Thread steak on eight metal or soaked wood skewers. Using a long-handled tongs rub a paper towel that's been moistened with cooking oil over grill grates to lightly coat them.
- Place skewers on grill over medium heat, cover grill and grill until beef reaches desired doneness. Or broil about 4 inches from heat for 6-9 minutes. Turn occasionally while grilling.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to avoid burning during grilling.
- Marinate the steak cubes for a minimum of two hours to ensure the flavors permeate the meat well.
- Before grilling, lightly oil the grill grates by rubbing a moistened paper towel with cooking oil using tongs to prevent sticking.
