Equipment

  • Metal or wooden skewers (if wooden, make sure to soak them as per the directions on the package prior to grilling)
  • sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Microplane (optional)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Grill

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Mock Tenderloin or Shoulder Tender, cut into bite-sized cubes Or sirloin tip
  • 3 large scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 6 oz Cremini or baby bella mushrooms (about six large mushrooms, halved or quartered)

For the marinade.

  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 TBSP hoisin sauce
  • 1 TBSP sesame oil
  • 1 TBSP freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp Sriracha
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated to a paste or finely minced

For the Korean BBQ Sauce.

  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 TBSP low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 TBSP mirin (or rice wine vinegar)
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Sriracha, more or less depending on your heat tolerance

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade.
  • Cut the beef into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch x 1-inch) and place them in the marinade along with the mushrooms; toss to coat.
  • Cover the mixing bowl and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, or for the day.
  • Before firing up the grill, make the BBQ sauce. Place all of the ingredients into a small saucepan and whisk until combined. Bring to a low simmer and let simmer for about five minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. You want the sauce to at least be warm when you slather it onto the skewers.
  • Heat your grill to medium-high heat—about 450º F. Make sure your grill is clean.
  • Thread the chunks of beef, scallions, and mushrooms onto skewers, and place onto a baking sheet or large plate.
  • Place the skewers onto the hot grill and cook for about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the skewers and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the beef has an internal temperature of 135º F for medium-rare. Cook a bit longer for medium (internal temperature of 140-145º F).
  • Carefully remove the skewers from the grill and place onto a clean plate or serving platter.
  • Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds; serve warm.
