Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine honey, chili flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beef

    Take the Japanese A5 Wagyu beef and cut it into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch cubes. This will ensure even cooking when skewered.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Ingredients

    Thread the Wagyu beef pieces onto skewers alternating with the shishito peppers. Ensure to leave some space between each piece for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Marinate the Skewers

    Brush the skewers liberally with the honey chili glaze prepared earlier. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your charcoal grill to high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.

  6. 6

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the beef is nicely charred and the shishito peppers are blistered.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve immediately, drizzled with any remaining honey chili glaze.
