Adjust Quanities

1 tbsp (3 Teaspoons) grated fresh ginger root
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp (6 Teaspoons) minced onion
cup (0 Teaspoons) ¼ packed brown sugar
cup (0 Teaspoons) ¼ fish sauce
2 tbsp (6 Teaspoons) vegetable oil
2 tbsp (6 Teaspoons) soy sauce
2 tbsp (6 Teaspoons) ground coriander
1 tbsp (3 Teaspoons) ground cumin
tsp ½ ground turmeric
tsp ⅛ cayenne pepper
2 piece of fresh lemon grass (white part only)
2 lb beef top sirloin, trimmed
4 long metal skewers

Method

  1. 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.
  2. Bruise lemongrass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.
  3. 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.
  4. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
  5. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  6. Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 the meat onto each metal skewer.
  7. 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.
  8. Transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.
