Grilled Beef Satay
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/8 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
1
Combine the brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, onion, oil, soy sauce, coriander, ginger, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until you have a smooth mixture.
2
Crush the lemongrass by gently hitting it with the back of a large chef's knife several times; then, chop it finely and add it to the marinade.
3
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 2.5 inches long and 0.125 inches thick. Combine the beef with the marinade, stirring until it is fully coated, around 1 minute. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
4
Heat an outdoor grill to high heat. Lightly grease the grill surface with oil.
5
Take the beef out of the marinade and shake off any remaining excess marinade. Place 1/4 of the meat onto each metal skewer and discard the remaining marinade.
6
Place the skewers on the preheated grill; cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the skewers and continue cooking until the meat is well browned and has visible grill marks, 2 to 2.5 minutes. Flip the skewers once more; cook until the meat is still slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the skewers to a platter; let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
