If you love beef and broccoli stir fry, you’ll love these soy-marinated Beef and Broccoli Skewers! A delicious summer dinner idea!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, use low-sodium tamari for gluten-free or coconut aminos for soy-free
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • 16 ounces trimmed NY strip steak, 1 inch-thick, cut into 16 cubes
  • 1 large head broccoli
  • 6 to 8 medium scallions, white and light green parts only, cut into 1 inch pieces

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Season with black pepper.
  2. Divide the marinade between 2 medium bowls. Add the meat to 1 bowl and toss to coat. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally, or cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
  3. Separate the broccoli into 16 florets (you may have some extra broccoli). They should each be 1 to 1 1/2 inches, cut any particularly big florets in half and trim the stems.
  4. Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill. Drain before threading the skewers.
  5. When the meat is ready, make the skewers: Thread 1 piece scallion perpendicular to the skewer, then carefully thread 1 broccoli floret onto the skewer, then 1 piece of beef. Repeat with another layer of scallion, broccoli, beef, then finish with the last of the scallion. Repeat with all the ingredients to make 8 skewers.
  6. Brush the skewers generously with the reserved marinade then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  7. To grill: Prepare the grill on high heat. Grill the skewers to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, brushing with the remaining marinade. Serve right away.
  8. To broil: Heat the broiler to high and position the rack about six inches away. Line a baking sheet with foil and add the skewers. Broil until the meat is cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, brushing with the remaining marinade.
