How
To Make Sesame Ginger Beef Skewers :
Cut
beef into 1/4-in.-thick strips. In a large bowl, whisk the first 7 ingredients
until blended. Pour 1 cup marinade into a shallow dish. Add beef; turn to coat.
Refrigerate, covered, 2-8 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain
beef, discarding marinade in dish. Thread beef onto 12 metal or soaked wooden
skewers. Grill kabobs, covered, over medium-high heat or broil 4 in. from heat
until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read
135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally and
basting frequently using 1/2 cup of reserved marinade.
To
make glaze, bring remaining marinade (about 3/4 cup) to a boil; whisk in 1/2
teaspoon cornstarch. Cook, whisking constantly until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Brush kabobs with glaze just before serving. If desired, top with sesame seeds
and sliced green onions.
