Marinated Steak Kebabs (or Asian Beef Skewers) in a bold garlic, soy and Shaoxing wine marinade. Just 10 minutes of prep, a quick cook on the grill, and big flavour in every bite. Let them marinate for best results.
Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together sesame oil, garlic, ginger, Shaoxing wine, and soy sauce until well combined.
Marinate the Beef: Add the cubed beef to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best flavour.
Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, alternating with red onion and bell pepper if using. Lightly brush with some of the reserved marinade.
Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Grill the Steak Kebabs: Preheat a BBQ or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with oil. When hot and starting to smoke, add the skewers and grill for 7–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned and cooked to your liking. You can baste with the remaining marinade while grilling (BBQ only).
Serve: Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with steamed rice and grilled vegetables. Enjoy!
