Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ginger powder, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 2: Add 500 grams of 1-inch cubed beef sirloin to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours to absorb flavors.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated beef cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers evenly.
Step 4: Grill the beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully, until the edges are nicely charred and the beef reaches desired doneness. Baste occasionally with leftover marinade during grilling for extra glaze.
Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
