  • Step 2

    Bruise lemon grass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef’s knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.

  • Step 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. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

  • Step 4

    Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  • Step 5

    Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 the meat onto each metal skewer.

  • Step 6

    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. Transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.

    • Cook's Note:

    Serve with Peanut Dipping Sauce.
