Beef Satay

John Mitzewich
This beef satay recipe is the main course-size version of a fabulous Thai appetizer: strips of beef marinated in Asian spices, skewered, and grilled for a truly amazing combination of flavors. With grilling season still in full swing, you can never have enough new and exciting ways to enjoy beef. Serve with my peanut dipping sauce.

Ingredients
  

  • ¼  cup  packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup   fish sauce
  • 4  cloves  garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons   minced onion
  • 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons   soy sauce
  • 2  tablespoons  ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon   grated fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon   ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon   ground turmeric
  • ⅛  teaspoon  cayenne pepper
  • 1 2-inch piece of fresh lemon grass (white part only)
  • 2  pounds  beef top sirloin, trimmed
  • 4 12-inch long metal skewers

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, onion, oil, soy sauce, coriander, ginger, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Bruise lemongrass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince lemongrass and add to marinade.
  • Cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2-inches long and 1/8 inch-thick. Stir beef into marinade until beef is completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 of the meat onto each metal skewer. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Arrange skewers on the preheated grill; cook until meat stops sticking to the grill, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip skewers and continue cooking until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Flip skewers once more; cook until meat is still slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer skewers to a platter; let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
