Miso-Glazed Beef Skewers with Grilled Vegetables

Ingredients:

For the Beef Skewers:

• 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp miso paste (white or red)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Grilled Vegetables:

• 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 onion, cut into thick wedges
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Miso Marinade:
   • In a bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
   • Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • In a bowl, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
   • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
3. Grill the Skewers:
   • Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, alternating with the vegetables.
   • Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer the beef more done.
4. Serve:
   • Arrange the grilled beef skewers and vegetables on a platter.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
