Teriyaki Beef Skewers with Pineapple and Red Onion
To prepare the most delicious teriyaki beef skewers, you first need to make yourselves a homemade Teriyaki sauce. My recipe can be done for up to 10 minutes. By adding 1 tsp. of cornstarch you could turn it into a glaze that is perfect for fish, chicken, beef and pork meat… The best part of it is that the ingredients are available in every big supermarket. Try this recipe for yourself and odds are that you’d do it many times after.
