Grilled Root Beer Beef

• For the Marinade:
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle root beer
• 1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
• skewers
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or to taste

1. Mix oil, black pepper, cayenne, chipotle, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and root beer together in a bowl.
2. Cut steak lengthwise down the middle and slice across the grain into 1/2-inch pieces. Add beef to the bowl of marinade and mix thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
3. Fold beef pieces in half and thread them onto 4 or 5 skewers.
4. Pour the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until a thick glaze forms, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool until slightly thickened.
5. Preheat a charcoal grill to high. Place skewers on the grate over direct heat. Grill, flipping occasionally, until beef starts to spring back to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush glaze on top. Garnish with sesame seeds.
