Directions: |
Directions:1. Slice beef against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
3. Combine fish sauce, onion, garlic, turmeric powder, ginger, and sugar in a small bowl. Mix well.
4. Transfer beef to a Ziplock back and add marinade. Massage the bag a few times to mix the marinade evenly with the beef. Seal the bag and let marinate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight, in the fridge.
5. Combine all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small bowl. Mix well. Let sit for an hour.
6. Skewer the beef lengthwise like you are using the wooden skewer to stitch a thread through the beef. Spread the beef slices flat so they are not overlapping. Depending on the size of the slices, use 1 to 2 slices on each skewer.
7. (Option 1) To grill the skewers: Spray a thin layer of oil onto the grill and heat. Cook beef skewers until both sides are nicely charred. Use high heat if you prefer the beef still a bit pink inside. Use medium heat if you want your beef well done.
8. (Option 2) To bake the skewers: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a thin layer of oil on the baking rack. Cook the skewers on the middle rack, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they reach the doneness you prefer.
9. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce. |
