Why Choose Ribeye Steak?
Ribeye steak is known for its rich marbling, which means it’s packed with flavor and remains tender when grilled. It’s the perfect choice for skewers, ensuring each bite is juicy and delicious.
Step-by-Step Recipe for Korean BBQ Steak Skewers:
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, combine ½ cup Dale’s Seasoning, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of ginger paste, 1 tablespoon of gochujang paste, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 2: Marinate the Steak
Cube the Steak: Cut the ribeye steak into bite-sized cubes, about 1 to 1.5 inches each.
Marinate: Place the cubed steak into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but no more than 12 hours. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat fully.
Step 3: Assemble the Skewers
Prepare the Vegetables: Cut green and red bell peppers, and white onions into similar-sized pieces as the steak cubes.
Assemble: Thread the marinated steak cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers and onions. This not only adds flavor but also creates a visually appealing presentation.
Step 4: Grill the Skewers
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your Kokomo Grills to medium-high heat for direct grilling.
Grill: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping to ensure even cooking. Grill until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare, or your desired level of doneness.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
Drizzle with Sriracha Mayo: For an extra kick, drizzle sriracha mayo over the grilled skewers.
Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions for added flavor and a pop of color.

Tips for Perfect Korean BBQ Steak Skewers
