I am exited for this post today. It is Pass the Cookbook Club time, and today the book was Seoultown Kitchen
by Debbie Lee. This book is all about Koren Pub Grub and food you share with your family and friends. Everywhere you turn Koren barbeque is popping up, so I was excited to see a couple of the recipes and give one a try!
I picked the Ginger-Soy Beef Kebobs because it was something I had all of the ingredients for, and the guys in my family never turn down steak! Plus, anytime I hear ginger or soy in the title of a recipe I am automatically drawn to it. Something about those flavors are just so comforting and inviting to me. When you use ginger and soy in a marinade they really seep into the meat, and you get the full flavor in each bite.
These kebobs did not disappoint. The original recipe used grape tomatoes, but I used baby portabello mushrooms and slices of red onion. Probably not very Korean, but it was what I had! The beef only marinates for 30 minutes, so you can have this on the table quickly. If it isn’t grilling weather you could easily do these on an indoor grill pan, or even under the broiler. Serve with a side of rice or maybe some roasted edamame. I know it isn’t Korean, but it is Asian so it should still pair well.

Instructions
- Prepare the marinade - In a food processor pulse the onion until minced. Add ginger, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

I love kebobs, and this recipe looks fantastic- Ginger and soy are so good together, and I probably would have switched in the baby bellas as well 🙂 I love this cookbook idea for a linkup!
