When these Teriyaki Skewers are sizzling on your grill, the aroma will make everyone around you stop what they’re doing and come for a taste.

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 lb boneless, beef top sirloin, about 1-inch thick
• 1/2 c teriyaki marinade & sauce
• 2 Tab sugar
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 2 Tab vegetable oil
• parsley – chopped
• sesame seeds
• short skewers

Directions:

1. Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes
2. Cut beef across grain into 1/2-inch thick strips, then into 1-inch squares.  If you’re having trouble slicing the steak thin, plate it in the freezer for 10 minutes before hand to make slicing easier.
3. Combine teriyaki sauce and sugar in measuring cup, stirring until sugar dissolves.
4. Remove 3 Tbsp. of mixture and pour over beef in large plastic food storage bag.
5. Press air out of bag; close top securely.
6. Turn bag over several times to coat pieces well.
7. Marinate 15 minutes
8. .Meanwhile, add enough water to remaining teriyaki sauce mixture to measure 2/3 cup.
9. Blend in cornstarch.
10. Heat and stir until thickened
11. Skewer 3 – 4 beef cubes on each skewer.
12. Grease the grate of the broiler/wire rack (or oven-safe cooling rack) to avoid the meat sticking on the grate.
13. Place the skewers on top.
14. Set the broiler to high and wait until the heating elements are hot.
15. Broil for 3 minutes.
16. Once one side has browned, turn over and grill until barely cooked through to the center.
17. Baste with some sauce and lightly grill once more.
18. Continue to broil for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
19. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and sesame seeds.
