Ingredients ~
1 1/2 pounds boneless sirloin steak, cut into 1×4 inch strips
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons sugar
6 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Wooden skewers, soaked several minutes in water
Directions ~
Place steak in plastic zip-lock style bag. Whisk soy sauce, oil, vinegar, sesame seeds, sugar, garlic, sesame oil and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Reserve half to use as dipping sauce. Add remaining marinade to plastic bag. Seal; turn bag to coat meat well. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
Prepare outdoor grill with medium-hot coals, or heat gas grill to medium-hot. Thread meat onto skewers. Brush once with marinade from plastic bag. Grill beef skewers, covered, turning occasionally, 12 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in meat registers 145*F (60*C) for medium-rare. Serve with reserved marinade for dipping and hot cooked rice, if desired.
