Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup chicken broth 
  • tablespoon ginger fresh minced finely grated
  • teaspoon garlic minced pressed
  •  green onions trimmed to 4 inches from root end
  • 0.5 cup soya sauce reduced-sodium
  • 0.5 cup mirin sweet dry ( rice wine)
  • teaspoons sesame seed toasted
  • 0.8 pound tri-tip steak 

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • grill
  • skewers

Directions

  1. To make the marinade, combine the mirin, soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute.
  2. Pour the marinade into a shallow dish large enough to hold the meat and set aside to cool.
  3. Cut the beef into 24 (1–inch) squares about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Add the beef to the cooled marinade, stir to evenly coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  5. Cut the trimmed green onions into thirds. Soak 12 (4– to 6–inch) bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
  6. Preheat an outdoor grill.
  7. Thread 2 pieces of beef and green onion, alternating, onto one end of each skewer. Grill the skewers until the meat is nicely browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 2 minutes per side.
  8. Transfer the skewers to a plate or small platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Set the plate on a warming tray to keep warm, if you wish.
  9. Marinate the beef for up to 8 hours, refrigerated. It is best to skewer the meat and grill just before serving.
