Preparation

Mix together soy sauce, saki, sugar and powdered ginger. Marinate beef cubes for 3 hours in the refrigerator, covered, turning occasionally.

Drain the meat well, reserving the marinade for basting sauce. Alternate meat, green pepper strips, onions and mushrooms on the bamboo skewers. Broil about 3 inches away from the heat until the meat is the desired degree of doneness. Well-done will take about 5 minutes on each side. Baste occasionally with marinade; sprinkle a little remaining marinade on the skewers before serving. Delicious with rice.
