Introduce the recipe for marinated beef skewers as an appetizer or meal.

Mention the use of 1 pound of boneless top sirloin, and suggest plain sirloin steak as an alternative if top sirloin is unavailable.

Prepare the marinade by combining 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic in a Ziploc bag.

Seal the bag and squish it around to mix the marinade ingredients.

Slice the beef into very thin slices, ensuring they are long enough to thread onto skewers.

Place the sliced beef into the marinade, ensuring they are not stuck together, and seal the bag to coat the meat.

Let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours, preferably around 2 hours for best flavor.

Soak the skewers in water for 30 to 45 minutes to prevent burning.

After marinating, thread the beef onto the skewers, folding the meat accordion style for even cooking.

Preheat the broiler before placing the skewers under it.

Broil the skewers for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for the same amount of time on the other side, watching closely to avoid overcooking.
