Sesame Beef Strips
Filed Under All Entries, Recipes |
Ingredients
Beef Marinade
3/4 cup oil (I use canola)
1/2 cup Chinese sesame oil (this can be tricky to find at a supermarket)
2/3 cup light soy sauce (not low sodium ‘light’; you can just use regular)
2/3 cup dry sherry
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3/4 teaspoon ginger, minced
1 1/2 pounds flank steak, cut across the grain into paper thin slices 2″ x 1″
Bamboo skewers soaked in water
Directions
1. Mix oils, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, garlic, and ginger. Marinate beef strips in mixture, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Heat broiler. Thread beef onto skewers. Brush with the marinade, coating heavily. Place on rack and broil for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Turn over. Brush with the marinade. Broil on the second side to desired doneness. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Makers 12 appetizer servings.
Why this recipe?
Because it’s delicious and easy! Even if you don’t have sesame oil (my local Dominick’s/Safeway didn’t have any, although they have in the past), it will turn out excellently. You could also use the same marinade for pretty much any preparation of beef. I made 10 skewers for a small potluck party, and they were an immense hit. A tip on slicing the beef thinly: it’s easier if the beef is partially frozen, and be sure to use a sharp knife.
