Skewering the steak for keto beef teriyaki

What steak is best for skewers?

Sirloin steak tips or strips work well because they are tender and lean, and they’re usually budget-friendly. If sirloin isn’t available, try flat iron, strip steak, or tenderloin.

How long should a steak be marinated for?

Marinate meat for at least 30 minutes and up to about eight hours. Beyond eight hours, acid-based marinades can start to break down proteins and make the meat mushy. For this recipe, we recommend about 1 hour of marinating.

Is soy sauce keto?

Yes—classic soy sauce is low in carbs and can fit into a ketogenic diet in moderation. If you prefer to avoid soy, coconut aminos is a lower-sodium, soy-free alternative that works well in Asian-style marinades.

Is teriyaki sauce keto?

Teriyaki sauce varies by brand. A typical serving may contain around 4 grams of carbs, but many commercial varieties include sugar. Look for sugar-free teriyaki or make a simple homemade version to keep carbs low. Teriyaki can be keto-friendly if you choose a low- or no-sugar option.

Making These Delicious Keto Beef Teriyaki Skewers

Start by soaking wooden skewers in water if you plan to grill over an open flame. Metal skewers are more durable and avoid charring, so consider using them if available.

Gather your ingredients, cut the steak into strips, and combine it with the marinade in a bowl. Refrigerate and marinate for about an hour, then thread the meat onto skewers and grill.

How to skewer steak for beef teriyaki

Lay a steak strip flat in your hand. Insert the skewer at one end and push it through, sliding the strip down the skewer. Repeat by pushing through and back up if needed to spread and flatten the meat along the skewer so it cooks evenly.

Grill both sides until the meat reaches your desired doneness, then let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with cauliflower rice, fresh grated ginger, green onions, or steamed broccoli.
