Japanese Beef Kushiyaki Skewers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Japanese Beef Kushiyaki Skewers.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a mixing bowl and combine the mirin, minced garlic, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, and white sugar.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a flavorful marinade.

3. Step 3

   Next, add the thinly sliced beef and chopped green onion to the bowl, making sure everything is well coated in that delicious mixture.

4. Step 4

   Let this sit for about 30 minutes; this is the perfect time for the flavors to mingle and develop a rich taste.

5. Step 5

   While the beef is soaking up all that goodness, soak your bamboo skewers in water.

6. Step 6

   This simple step will help prevent them from burning when you grill.

7. Step 7

   Now, preheat your oven's broiler and adjust the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat source.

8. Step 8

   Once the beef is marinated, take a slice and roll it around a piece of green onion.

9. Step 9

   Secure the roll with two bamboo skewers, placing them about half an inch apart.

10. Step 10

    Keep going until you have three beef rolls on each skewer, and repeat until all the beef and green onions are used up.

11. Step 11

    Arrange your skewers on a broiling pan and don’t forget to discard any leftover marinade.

    Now it’s time to broil! Place the skewers under the broiler for about 3 to 3 and a half minutes on each side, or until they’re beautifully browned and irresistible.
