Lemongrass Angus Beef Skewers
Recipe by Louis Tikaram
Ingredients
1kg good quality steak
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemongrass
1 cup finely chopped coriander stems and leaves
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
Oil for grilling
Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
METHOD
Soak your bamboo skewers in water while preparing the steak and marinade.
Slice the flank steak across the grain into ½ cm-thick strips. Set aside.
Stir together coriander, garlic, oyster sauce, sugar, fish sauce, lemongrass, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Add steak, toss to coat. Marinate steak at room temperature for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
Remove steak from marinade, and weave onto skewers, folding back and forth till the skewer is covered in beef just leaving room to hold at the bottom.
Heat a BBQ or grill plate to medium-high heat. Brush skewers lightly with oil. Grill steak, uncovered, turning occasionally, until charred, cook for around 6 minutes for a nice medium rare. Let rest then garnish with green onion and serve.
