    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, ginger, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are combined.

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

    Once the mixture has marinated, form it into small skewers, alternating between the beef and pieces of green onion.

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

    Once done, remove from the grill and allow to rest for a couple of minutes.

How to be creative
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with a zesty dipping sauce made from leftover orange juice mixed with soy sauce and sesame oil.
  • Incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes onto the skewers.
Important Tips
  • Make sure to pack the ground beef mixture tightly on the skewers to hold them together while grilling.
  • Consider soaking your skewers in water beforehand if using wooden ones to prevent burning.
  • Feel free to experiment with different marinades or spices to customize the flavors.
