These Korean BBQ skewers feature tender beef and veggies brushed with a savory, sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the grill. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or entertaining, they deliver bold flavors with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless beef sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium yellow onion, cut into chunks
  • 8 wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes and chop the bell pepper and onion into chunks of similar size.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using to make the glaze.
  3. Toss the beef cubes in the glaze, coating well. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Thread the beef, bell pepper, and onion alternately onto the skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  6. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing with reserved glaze as you cook. Rotate until beef is medium rare to medium, about 12-15 minutes total.
  7. Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Marinate beef for 15-60 minutes to avoid mushy texture. Turn skewers regularly to ensure even cooking and caramelization. Watch for flare-ups due to glaze sugars and move skewers if needed. Let skewers rest a few minutes after grilling for juicy meat.
