NEXT LEVEL TIP:
If you want to step up the Beef, use a rib eye or ask your butcher for something with great marbling that you can cube easily. Whenever possible go to a butcher, the items in the case will be much fresher and they will have great tips on quality of cuts of meat!
DIRECTIONS
If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 min before cooking, this will help prevent them from catching on fire.
Cut Meat into bite size pieces , and place in a bowl and combine with Rice vinegar. Black Pepper, 1 tsp Sesame Oil. Set aside covered until ready to be skewered.
Cut green onions into 8ths and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat Sesame oil on medium high heat.
Once oil is hot, add garlic and ginger, stir constantly and cook for 2 min,
Add the rest of the ingredients stirring until everything is fully incorporated.
Bring sauce to a boil, stirring occasionally, reduce to a simmer and let cook about 3 min.
Keep sauce warm, so that it will be easier to glaze the skewers.
Turn grill on high heat.
Skewer the meat and the green onions, alternating the green onions and meat.
Spray grill with cooking spray and place skewers on grill, cook about 3-4 min, then flip.
Once flipped brush skewer with Sweet and Spicy Korean BBq Glaze, coating the side evenly. Cook an additional 3-4 min.
Flip skewer and glaze again, cook an additional 2-3 min, or until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees fahrenheit, and the beef is cooked to a minimum of 145 degrees fahrenheit.
Remove from grill and glaze one more time, let rest about 2 min, and enjoy!
