Why not shake things up at your Memorial Day BBQ this weekend with this succulent, melt-in-your-mouth recipe for Asian Beef Skewers? They’re loaded with amazing flavors from the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, Srircha and hoisin sauce. Great for guests because you can marinate them a couple of hours before and just throw on the grill as your friends are arriving. I like to pair these yummy skewers with an Asian beer like Tsingtao or Tiger Beer. I buy premium hoisin sauceat the gourmet section of World Market.
