Keto Grilled Asian Beef & Scallion Skewers with Sesame Cucumber Salad

CookwithNewsletter

Grilling skewers is a celebration of simple, bold flavors and communal eating. Here, tender cubes of marinated flank steak are paired with scallions for a smoky, caramelized bite, balanced by a refreshing sesame cucumber salad. Coconut aminos bring umami depth without sugar, while rice vinegar and ginger provide a cleansing brightness—key to cutting through the richness of the beef. The char from the grill, the crisp of the salad, and the aroma of toasted sesame create a satisfying, high-protein meal that’s both keto-friendly and irresistibly Asian-inspired. Perfect for gathering friends around the grill and savoring every bite.

Ingredients

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk the coconut aminos, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Add steak cubes and marinate at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours chilled).
While steak marinates, toss sliced cucumbers with 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, and 1/2 tsp salt. Chill until serving.
Preheat grill to high. Thread steak and scallion pieces onto skewers, alternating for color and flavor. Discard marinade.
Grill skewers 2-3 minutes per side until beef is charred outside and medium-rare inside.
Rest skewers 5 minutes. Serve hot with chilled sesame cucumber salad on the side.
