Disney at Home: Disneyland’s Banyan Beef Skewer Recipe

December 2, 2013 in All Posts, disney at home, disneyland, Jessica, recipes by Jessica McConnel

Ok, you asked for it – and you’re gettin’ it! As promised – the Banyan Beef Skewer recipe from Disneyland’s Bengal BBQ in Adventureland! It’s one of my favorite stops for a filling snack or a light lunch (however you like to look at it). The great thing about this recipe is it is super, I mean super simple to make. The recipe is easy enough that you can incorporate it into your regular meal planning and yet spicy and unique enough to jazz up an otherwise commonplace dinner. Plus, I thought this meal would be a nice change from all the turkey we’ve been eating!

Disneyland's Copycat Banyan Beef Skewer Recipe (Bengal BBQ)

Here's a copycat recipe for a popular Disneyland snack from Bengal BBQ in Adventureland.
Course: Snack
Keyword: barbecue, bbq

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...
And that's it - shortest notes section ever!

Full disclosure, this is not a recipe I found at City Hall, but it’s one I found years ago on the internet. I’m pretty certain it’s the real deal because no matter what website you find this recipe on, it’s always the same – oh, and it tastes just like the real thing! 

 
Outcome & Opinion
I will warn you, this stuff is spicy stuff, but our family likes spice and handles it well. If you don’t handle spice well you can always cut way down on the cayenne and that should help. I’ve made this recipe so many times already knew the outcome would be great, that I had a high opinion of it – I hope you agree!

      Hmmm… Interesting. This is the first concern we’ve gotten with this recipe.

      Totally agree. Soy sauce wrong base. Soooooooooo salty. Plus not quite right flavor wise. Maybe instead of soy sause, cream of mushroom soup or low sodium beef broth? Sauce in Disney isn’t soy sause brown, so it something else. Gonna try something else. Any ideas?

        What a bummer! I’ve only ever had good luck with my recipe – but I definitely say try low sodium soy sauce!

    Eva must be extra sensitive. This recipe works great. Don’t change a thing. After the first time I made it i increased the pepper. Nice spicy dish

    Made this today and it was perfect. I’ve missed this flavor, and while it made me seriously miss Disneyland, it was delicious on the steak I got for the occasion.
