Calories: 431kcal
Equipment
- 6 metal skewers or wood skewers
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated or minced ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1 large red or yellow bell pepper cut into 2-inch pieces
Instructions
- Soak skewers. If using wooden skewers, cover 6 of them with water and let soak at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
- Marinate beef. Combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder in a medium bowl. Add 1 pound beef cubes and toss to combine. Cover and chill for an hour.
- Make skewers. Heat broiler to high and arrange rack in the lower third of the oven. Thread 4 pepper pieces and 3 beef pieces onto each skewer, starting and ending with the pepper, alternating between each. *See note if you want to be super scientific.
- Broil skewers. Place on a baking sheet and broil about 8 minutes for medium-rare or 10 minutes for medium or until your desired doneness. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you want to be super scientific with the skewers, count how many pepper pieces and beef pieces you have and divide them evenly between 6 skewers, alternating between each.
- There is a fine line when broiling beef. You can put it closer to the broiler if you want it more browned and crispy on the outside but watch carefully that it doesn't burn.
- Make-ahead. Beef can be marinated up to 4 hours in advance.
- If you want to thread the skewers in advance, marinate the beef for an hour, then thread the beef and peppers onto the skewers, cover and refrigerate up to 12 hours in advance.
