Method
 

Directions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to prepare the marinade.
  2. Cut the tri-tip steak into 1 ½" cubes and place in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour two-thirds of the marinade over the steak and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
  3. Once marinated, cut fresh pineapple, red bell peppers, and onion into 1 ½" chunks.
  4. Take soaked wooden skewers and thread marinated steak, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion alternately.
  5. Combine reserved marinade with ketchup and honey to prepare the glaze.
  6. Preheat grill to medium heat, about 350°F. Grill skewers for approximately 15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes and brushing with glaze during the last few turns.
  7. Check that the beef reaches an internal temperature of 145-150°F for medium doneness.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning. Allowing the steak to marinate overnight enhances flavor and tenderness.
