Vietnamese Beef Skewers


Ingredients

1 lb top sirloin steak,
preferably 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick
30 small wooden skewers
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp Derlea Minced Garlic
2½ tsp Derlea Minced Ginger
1 tbsp finely grated lemon peel
1 tsp ground coriander and cinnamon (each)
2 tbsp soy sauce
¼ cup finely chopped fresh mint (optional)

Cooking Directions

To make steak easier to thinly slice, place in freezer, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, line a shallow-rimmed baking sheet with foil. Soak skewers in warm water. In a medium-size bowl, stir oil with Derlea Garlic, Derlea Ginger, lemon peel, coriander and cinnamon. Mixture will form a paste. After steak has chilled 30 minutes, thinly slice across the grain into very thin strips. Add beef to Derlea Garlic mixture and stir until evenly coated. Refrigerate if not cooking immediately. When ready to cook, position oven rack in top third of oven. Preheat broiler. Tightly thread 1 strip of beef onto each skewer. If strips are small, thread 2 or 3 strips onto a skewer. Place skewers on baking sheet. It will be a tight fit. Brush with soy sauce. Broil until meat loses its pink colour, 5 to 7 minutes. You don't need to turn skewers. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle with mint. Add lemon and lime wedges, if you wish.
