Beef Kushiyaki is a traditional Japanese dish that consists of grilled beef skewers coated in a sweet and savory marinade. The marinade is made with mirin, soy sauce, and sugar, which is a classic combination of flavors in Japanese cuisine. The beef sirloin used in this recipe is cut paper-thin and skewered with green onion slices. The result is a tender and flavorful skewer that makes a great appetizer or main dish. Beef Kushiyaki is perfect for grilling outdoors during the summer months or cooking indoors on a grill pan during the colder months.

Instructions

1.	In a small saucepan, combine the mirin, garlic, soy sauce, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
2.	Remove from heat and let cool.
3.	Skewer the paper-thin slices of beef and green onion slices onto bamboo skewers, alternating between beef and green onion.
4.	Brush the marinade onto the skewers, making sure to coat evenly.
5.	Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your liking.
