Beef Tenderloin Yakitori

Miso Anticuchera BBQ Sauce

Crispy Yellow Peruvian Potato

Method

Beef Tenderloin Yakitori

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Cut the beef tenderloin into bite-sized cubes. Add the beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Beef

    Thread the marinated beef onto skewers. Leave space between each piece for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Yakitori

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the skewered beef before serving.

Miso Anticuchera BBQ Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, honey, rice vinegar, chili paste, and lemon juice until well combined.

  2. 7

    Serve with Yakitori

    Brush the Miso Anticuchera BBQ sauce onto the grilled beef skewers before serving.

Crispy Yellow Peruvian Potato

  1. 8

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel the yellow Peruvian potatoes and cut them into thick slices.

  2. 9

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the potato slices and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 10

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fried potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.
