Instructions:

1. Prep the Marinade:

• In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, gochujang, black pepper, rice vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds.
• Pour the marinade over the sliced beef and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for max flavor!).

2. Assemble the Skewers:

• If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
• Thread the marinated beef onto the skewers, alternating with onions and bell peppers.

3. Grill the Skewers:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
• Lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
• Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once, until the beef is slightly charred but still tender.

4. Serve & Enjoy!

• Garnish with extra sesame seeds and green onions.
• Serve with steamed rice, kimchi, or a side of spicy cucumber salad.

Pro Tips:

✔️ Thinly sliced beef is key—it soaks up more marinade and cooks quickly.
✔️ Want extra caramelization? Brush the skewers with leftover marinade while grilling.
✔️ No grill? Cook these on a grill pan or under the broiler for 4-5 minutes.
