BEEF KABOBS

ZINGY TERIYAKI BEEF SKEWERS

• Thread the beef onto 4 soaked wooden or metal skewers. Place in the marinade, turn and brush until well coated. Cover with cling film and marinate for 30 mins.
• While the beef is marinating, prepare the salad. Half-fill a medium pan with water and bring to the boil. Cook the rice for about 20 mins or following pack instructions until tender. Rinse in a sieve under running water until cold, then drain well. Tip into a large bowl.
• Add the cucumber, carrots, spring onions, radishes, coriander, mint, oil, lime zest and juice, and toss well together well. Season with a little black pepper. Divide between two plates and top with a sprinkling of nuts and extra herbs to garnish.

BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Marinate the meat: Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and add the meat. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably several hours or even overnight. (Heck, I've kept the meat marinating for a couple days, still great.)
• Soak skewers in water: Soak the wood or bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from completely burning up on the grill.
• Thread the meat and veggies onto the skewers: Cut the vegetables into chunks roughly the width of the beef pieces. Taking care not to poke yourself, thread the meat and vegetables onto double bamboo skewers. One way to do this safely is to put the piece that you are trying to pierce on a cutting board, and then push the skewers through the piece to the board. Using double skewers will help you turn the kebabs on the grill. If you keep a little space between the pieces, they will grill more evenly. Paint the kebabs with some of the remaining marinade.
• Grill on high, direct heat: Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is, and how done you would like your meat, turning occasionally.
• Let rest: Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.

TERIYAKI SESAME BEEF SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 1 hour prior to grilling (to help prevent sticks from burning too quickly).
• Toast white sesame seeds on medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown (you can also use pre-toasted sesame seeds). Set it aside in a heat-proof bowl to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Grind seeds in a mortar with a pestle (or in a zip-top plastic bag with a rolling pin).
• Remove roast from packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. If present, trim away connective tissue or silver skin (the membrane that will not break down during grilling) from the roast. Slice roast into even, thin slices against the grain. Cut slices approx. 2 x 3 inches with a 1 cm thickness. Set beef aside in a large mixing bowl.
• In a medium mixing bowl whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, mirin, toasted sesame seeds, hoisin sauce and pineapple juice (only recommended for tougher meats. See my notes below for more info). Pour the sauce into the bowl with sliced beef and mix everything with a spatula until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap (or place beef into a zip-top plastic bag) and refrigerate it for 1 hour.

• Grill skewers on your BBQ oven on medium-high heat (approximately 400°F) for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until the meat is cooked and the sauce is sticky (slightly charred is even better for flavour). Serve immediately as an appetizer or as a main course with a side dish.

BEEF SKEWERS

• Preheat the broiler.
• In a small sauté pan over low heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring constantly to avoid burning them. When the seeds are golden, remove them from the pan and reserve.

• Slice the white stems of the green onions into 3/4-inch-long pieces; discard the rest.
• Roll up one piece of beef like a jellyroll. Place it on a skewer, add one piece of green onion, then another piece of beef and another scallion. Repeat with all the skewers. Sprinkle the skewers with salt.
• To cook: Place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes for medium rare. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

JAPANESE BEEF SKEWERS (KUSHIYAKI)

• Slice beef flank steak into thin 2 x 2 inch pieces.
• Marinate sliced beef with prepared marinade in resealable storage bag or plastic storage container in refrigerator. For best flavor, marinate beef at least two hours. Marinating beef for over four hours or even overnight will result in meat that is overly salty given the potency of the soy sauce in marinade.
• Remove bamboo skewers from water, and skewer several pieces of beef onto bamboo sticks. Discard marinade after meat has been skewered.
• Grill beef kushiyaki on barbecue over medium to high heat until beef is cooked to desired wellness, about three minutes on each side. Because meat is thinly sliced, you'll find that it cooks fairly quickly. Be careful not to overcook or burn meat, as it will become tough.
