Ingredients 

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce:

  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds, optional

Skewer Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds sirloin or chuck steak, cubed
  • ½ large pineapple, cored and cubed
  • 2 large red peppers, chopped
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • White rice or Flatbread, for serving
  • Fresh scallions, garnish

Instructions

  • If you are using the homemade teriyaki sauce, add all the ingredients to a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Cool completely before using sauce.
  • Once the sauce has cooled, cut beef into about 1-inch chunks and add to a bowl. Add enough sauce to coat the beef, but no need to cover the beef, about ¾-1 cup of sauce. Let marinate for a few minutes. (You can also use storebought teriyaki sauce if you would like).
  • Once you are ready to make skewers, soak bamboo skewers in water or use metal skewers.
  • Assemble skewers with 3-4 beef pieces per skewer, alternating with pineapple and vegetables.
  • Grill skewers for 5-6 minutes over direct heat (medium-high heat on a gas grill). Turn and grill for the same amount of time on the second side. Brush skewers with extra teriyaki sauce as they grill.
  • Remove skewers when the beef reaches your desired doneness temperature, the USDA states that medium-rare is 145˚F and the vegetables and pineapple are charred.
  • Serve the skewers with rice or flatbreads and garnished with scallions and extra teriyaki sauce on the side.
