Ingredients/ Equipment:
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, use low-sodium tamari for gluten-free or coconut aminos for soy-free
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper
- 16 ounces trimmed NY strip steak, 1 inch-thick, cut into 16 cubes
- 1 large head broccoli
- 6 to 8 medium scallions, white and light green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Season with black pepper.
- Divide the marinade between 2 medium bowls. Add the meat to 1 bowl and toss to coat. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally, or cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
- Separate the broccoli into 16 florets. They should each be 1 to 1 1/2 inches, cut any particularly big florets in half and trim the stems.
- Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes so they do not burn on the grill. Drain before threading the skewers.
- When the meat is ready, make the skewers: Thread 1 piece scallion perpendicular to the skewer, then carefully thread 1 broccoli floret onto the skewer, then 1 piece of beef. Repeat with another layer of scallion, broccoli, beef, then finish with the last of the scallion.
- Brush the skewers generously with the reserved marinade then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- To grill: Prepare the grill on high heat. Grill the skewers to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, brushing with the remaining marinade. Serve right away.
