Beef Teriyaki Skewers

1 1/2 lb. beef sirloin, cut into 24 1in. pieces
6 mushrooms, quartered
12 cherry tomatoes
1/2 C. canola oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 C. packed dark brown sugar
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil
1/4 C. sesame seeds

Soak 24 small skewers in water for 30min. Preheat broiler to high & line a broiler pan with foil. Place beef, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Add canola oil, salt & pepper. Toss to coat.
Thread meat and vegetables onto skewers alternating. Lay skewers on pan with handle ends facing out. Cover handle end with foil to prevent burning, if desired.
In a small bowl, mix sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Broil skewers, turning meat a few times, until meat begins to brown, about 3 min. Brush liberally with glaze and continue broiling until beef is lightly charred, 2-3 min. longer. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Of course, these skewers can be grilled, if you prefer.
