Soy sauce, ginger and rice vinegar put an awesome Asian twist on grilled sirloin steak.

Ingredients

1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
6 medium green onions, sliced (6 tablespoons)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 1/4 lb beef sirloin steak, cut into 1/4-inch strip (about 24 strips)
About 24 (6-inch) wooden skewers

Directions

1

In large nonmetal bowl or 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except beef. Add beef; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours to marinate, turning meat after 1 hour. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
2

Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove meat from marinade; reserve marinade in 1-quart saucepan. Pat meat dry with paper towels. On each skewer, thread 1 beef strip. Place beef on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 3 to 5 minutes for medium doneness (155° F), turning once halfway through cooking.
3

Meanwhile, heat reserved marinade to boiling over medium-high heat; boil 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve with meat.
