Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 pounds sirloin steak or beef round, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1 large (or 2 medium) zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/4 cup black bean sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil

- 1/2 cup minced red bell pepper

Instructions
- Coat an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high.
- Skewer steak and zucchini on separate skewers. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together black bean sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. Brush mixture all over beef and zucchini. Place skewers on hot grill. Grill skewers for 5 minutes, turning once during cooking. Sprinkle sesame seeds all over skewers and grill 2 more minutes, until steak is cooked through and seeds are golden brown.

Great flavor! I substituted the Blackbean sauce for Oyster sauce since I had that on hand. Delicious
DELICIOUS!!!! what a hit! Try using those Flip Kabob things. they made t so easy
I agree with GESutton – a safe and easy dish but nothing to write home about.
Good flavors and quick to make, but nothing outstanding. Safe dish for the whole family.
Seeing this again this morning reminded me I’d never commented on it. This is a good recipe with lots of flavors going on. Would never have thought to make it without seeing Robin make it. Different, but so good.
good
My family loved this meal….even the veggies!! We added some vidalia onions with the zuchini and it was amazing! Thanks for a great recipe, Robin! I’m trying the lo mein tonight!
We had this for dinner last night. In only a few minutes we had a perfectly cooked and great tasting meal. It was just a bonus that it was also pretty good for us. My boyfriend who always told me that he hated zuchini, absolutely loved it. We will definately be making this one again.
Easy to make, great flavors. My kid who usually doesn’t eat meat ate more than his share of the meat. The related Lo Mein recipe for the leftovers is equally good.
I had never used black bean sauce, what a fantastic taste it adds! I brushed it on the meat at the very end of the grilling time instead of the beginning and it turned out fine. I will definitely use a bigger variety of veggies next time!
