Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 3 sliced green onions, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak to the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
Step 3: Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat (approx. 450°F) with coals evenly spread.
Step 4: Thread marinated beef strips onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, folding the slices to fit snugly without overcrowding.
Step 5: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until beef is caramelized and cooked through but still tender.
Step 6: Remove skewers and let rest for 2 minutes before serving garnished with additional sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
