Grilled Skewered Beef Recipe

Recipe:

500 g (1 lb) sirloin steak
2 teaspoons chili flakes
4 stems lemon grass (white part only), finely chopped
2 slices fresh galangal, finely chopped
2 slices fresh turmeric, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 teaspoons grated palm sugar or soft brown sugar
1/2 cup (125 ml) oyster sauce
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil

Method:

Cut the steak into long thin strips. Place the strips of meat in a glass bowl. Pound the chili, lemon grass, galangal, turmeric and garlic in a mortar and pestle. Add the palm sugar, oyster sauce, salt and oil and combine well. Spoon the marinade over the meat and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours. Thread the meat onto wooden skewers which have been soaked in water for 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to hot; grill the skewered beef on both sides until browned. Alternatively you can cook the meat on a hot barbecue grill.
