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. 

Ingredients

Marinade:

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1-2 teaspoons Srircha sauce

¼ cup hoisin sauce

1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin or sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 2″ strips (against the grain)

26-30 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes

Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients. Pour into a gallon sized resealable baggie. Add the beef strips. Place in refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Thread the beef pieces onto the soaked skewers. Grill 3-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
