Disneyland's Copycat Banyan Beef Skewer Recipe (Bengal BBQ)
Here's a copycat recipe for a popular Disneyland snack from Bengal BBQ in Adventureland.
Materials
- 1 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Black Pepper
- 1.5 tbsp Cayenne (red) pepper
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 3 tbsp Sesame Seed Oil
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 tbsp Cornstarch
- Wooden Skewers
- Beef Sirloin, cubed
Instructions
- Soak skewers in water for about 20 minutes. Pat dry and set aside.
- Slide 4-5 cubes of beef on each skewer. Place under your oven's broiler for about 15-20 minutes until browned and completely cooked through.
- While beef is broiling make the sauce. Pour soy sauce into a medium sized saucepan. Add in seasoning and sesame oil. Stir well. Bring to a boil.
- While waiting for sauce to boil, mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl with a fork.
- Once sauce has come to a boil add in cornstarch mixture. Stir continuously over medium-high heat until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Place skewers on serving plate. Brush with thickened sauce. Serve any extra sauce in a dish for extra dipping.
Notes
How do you take pretty pictures of beef skewers? I still haven’t figured it out.
- Cooking just for my husband and I, we cut up two large steaks and made a half recipe of the sauce, and there was still a lot of sauce left - I would estimate a half recipe would cover at least 6 steaks worth of beef.
- If you prefer, you can cook your beef on the grill (I would've except it's literally freezing outside, and I'm a wuss!).
- Serve with rice, baked potatoes, grilled veggies, or corn on the cob (if I'd thought of it, I would tried to make Tiger Tails Breadsticks - shoot!)
- I wonder what this would be like on chicken...
