Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: ¼ cup packed brown sugar; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1 tablespoon ground cumin; ½ teaspoon ground turmeric; 4 cloves garlic, crushed; 2 tablespoons minced onion; ¼ cup fish sauce; 2 tablespoons ground coriander; 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root; 1 2-inch piece of fresh lemon grass (white part only); 2 pounds beef top sirloin, trimmed; 4 12-inch long metal skewers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Place ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable oil, soy sauce, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl; whisk into a smooth marinade.

Step 3

Bruise lemon grass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.

Step 4

Cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. Thoroughly mix the beef into marinade until all beef strips are completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

Step 5

Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 the meat onto each metal skewer.

Step 6

Arrange skewers on the preheated grill and cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip skewers over onto other side and cook until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn onto first side again and cook until meat is still slightly pink, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.
