Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak (or sirloin as a tender alternative)
- 3 tbsp honey (mild, like clover)
- 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste, or substitute half with sweet chili sauce for less heat)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or garlic powder as substitute)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil as substitute)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or lemon juice as substitute)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use)
Instructions
- Cut steak: Cut flank steak into roughly 1-inch cubes, keeping sizes consistent for even cooking.
- Make marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until glossy and thick enough to cling to the steak.
- Marinate steak: Toss steak cubes in the marinade, coating thoroughly. Let rest for 15-20 minutes (minimum 10 minutes if short on time).
- Thread skewers: Thread steak cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even heat circulation. Optionally alternate with bell pepper or red onion chunks.
- Preheat grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat for a good sear without burning the honey glaze.
- Grill skewers: Grill skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side, watching carefully to avoid flare-ups and burning. Move skewers to cooler parts of the grill if sauce starts to burn.
- Rest skewers: Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
- Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions over skewers before serving.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
- You can substitute sirloin for flank steak if you prefer a more tender cut.
- Adjust sriracha amount to taste or substitute half with sweet chili sauce for less heat.
- Optionally alternate steak cubes with bell pepper or red onion chunks on skewers.
