Juicy beef skewers glazed in a sticky honey soy sauce, grilled until caramelised and finished with sesame seeds and fresh spring onion.
Ingredients
400g beef rump, cut into thin slices
2 spring onions, cut into 3 cm batons
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Sea salt and black pepper
Glaze
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin (or 1 tbsp water + extra ½ tsp honey if avoiding alcohol)
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp sesame oil
To Finish
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 spring onions, finely sliced
Method
Whisk together the honey, light soy sauce, mirin, garlic, grated ginger and sesame oil to form the glaze. Set aside.
Thread the beef slices and spring onion pieces alternately onto the soaked skewers. Lightly season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a grill pan or barbecue to medium-high heat. Brush the beef skewers lightly with the glaze and place onto the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side, brushing with more glaze as they cook, until glossy, caramelised and just cooked through.
Once cooked, brush with a final layer of the warm honey glaze for shine and flavour. Finish with sesame seeds and spring onion.
