Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 pound sirloin steak, cubed
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a glass or plastic bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oil, lemon juice, sesame seeds, sugar, green onions, garlic, and ginger.

Step 2

Thread the meat onto skewers. (If you are using wooden skewers, soak them 30 minutes first.) Place the skewers in a plastic or glass container just large enough to hold them, and pour the marinade over the meat, turning to coat well. Cover, and chill for a minimum of 4 hours.

Step 3

Preheat grill for high heat, and position grate 5 inches from coals.

Step 4

Brush grate with oil, and place skewers on grill. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, occasionally turning kabobs to ensure even cooking.
