Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Combine first 6 ingredients in a zip-top bag. Add beef to bag; seal. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning once. Remove steak from bag, reserve marinade.

Thread steak evenly onto 8 (8-inch) skewers. Grill 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Combine reserved marinade and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute.

Steam rice and broccoli. Make fried rice, if desired.

Serve skewers over rice & broccoli with marinade on the side. Sprinkle with green onion.
