If you're looking for a go-to grilling recipe that’s packed with flavor and reliably tender, these Sesame Steak Kabobs are a must-try! Marinated in a bold sesame-soy blend, the steak comes off the grill juicy, savory, and absolutely mouthwatering.

What I love most is how versatile and simple this meal is. This time, I served them with easy fried rice, but they pair just as well with steamed broccoli or fluffy jasmine rice for a well-rounded dinner. Whether you’re cooking for a backyard BBQ or a quick weeknight dinner, this dish is sure to become a regular in your rotation.

Save this one—you’ll be making it again and again!

Ingredients

  • soy sauce
  • hoisin sauce
  • garlic
  • sesame oil
  • ginger
  • sugar
  • red wine vinegar
  • sesame seeds
  • black pepper
  • sirloin steak
  • scallions, onions or bell pepper

See exact quantities on recipe card.

Instructions

Trim the fat from the sirloin and cut into 1 inch squares. In a glass dish or a zip top baggie add all ingredients except fresh veggie and steak. Shake to combine the marinade. Then add the steak. Let marinate for about 30 minutes. When ready to grill, preheat the grill to 400 degrees. Thread the steak and onions on to the skewers. I actually weigh mine so that I know all the skewers have a good serving size (between 6-8 ounces usually depending on who I am feeding).

Add the skewers to the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes total. I flip mine at 4 minutes and at 8 minutes I check the temperature, as I like my kabobs at medium. See the box below for temperature of doneness. Remember the temp will increase a few degrees even after coming off of grill.
