Beef Teriyaki Skewers
When these Beef Teriyaki Skewers are sizzling on your grill, the aroma will make everyone around you stop what they’re doing and come for a taste of these easy to make flank steak skewers with homemade teriyaki sauce.
I hope you guys are all enjoying the long weekend and are staying cool. We just got back late last night from our little mini vacation and I’m exhausted, but was glad to sleep in my own bed again. However, today I’m still in holiday mode, so grilling it is. You can’t get any easier than with this recipe.
I used a flank steak which I cut into very thin strips then threaded the beef on wooden skewers, which I then seasoned generously with salt and pepper. For the teriyaki sauce you simply throw all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil until it thickens nicely.
All that’s left to do is to grill these skewers to your liking while brushing them generously with some of that yummy sauce. That’s all there is to these beef skewers and they are perfect for the long weekend. I served them with a salad but you can serve them over some cooked rice with some steamed veggies!

Hi Jo,
These skewers look amazing. I want to make them for an event that I am hosting. What are your suggestions on making ahead of time so I am not out grilling while the guests are here. Have you ever made them or prepped them the day before and heated them?
Thanks,
Vickie

You can make them ahead of time and heat them back up in a 450F oven for a few minutes until they’re warmed through.

We bought a smoker a little while ago and we smoked a brisket in it as well, so so good, love that smoker!
