Cooking Tips

• For extra tenderness, you can marinate the beef overnight in the refrigerator.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before threading the beef to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the skewers, such as bell peppers or onions, for added flavor and color.
• You can also serve the miso beef skewers with steamed rice or noodles for a more substantial meal.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover miso beef skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• The edamame salad is best served fresh, but any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the skewers, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the skewers and salad together as a main dish or as part of a buffet-style spread.
