These are excellent with a unique Asian flavour.  You can serve these over lettuce leaves and steamed rice or offer assorted pickles and Kimchi alongside.  From Canadian Living Barbecue Collection.

6 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes
450 g Beef grilling steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 red onion cut into 1 inch pieces
1 sweet green pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces

• Whisk together garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil and hot pepper flakes.
• Place beef in bowl; place onion and green pepper in separate bowl.  Divide marinade between bowls. Marinate for 15 minutes or covered and refrigerated, up to 1 day.
• Reserving any remaining marinade, alternately thread beef, onion and peppers onto skewers; brush with marinade.  Grill on greased grill over high heat, turning once until desired doneness, about 8 minutes for medium rare.
