Number Of Ingredients 6

400 g sirloin steak
50 g pork fat (fatty pork belly (rindless))
4 tbsp yellow kroeung
1 tbsp peanuts (roasted, finely chopped, then pounded)
2 tbsp palm sugar
4 tbsp fish sauce

Steps:

  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for one hour. This will prevent them from burning while barbecuing.
  • Cut the beef into cubes of around 3cm.
  • Cut the pork into thin squares around the same size as the beef cubes.
  • Mix the palm sugar, fish sauce, kroeung and peanuts in a bowl and marinate the beef and pork for one hour. Now is a good time to heat your barbecue.
  • Make the skewers by placing one piece of beef and then one slick of pork and repeat.
  • Make sure the barbecue is at the white heat stage with no open flames.
  • Place the skewers on the barbecue and cook until medium. Turn the skewers as each side of the meat is done. Brush the leftover marinade on the sticks. If this causes a little flare-up this is fine - it just adds to the smokiness of the skewers.
  • Serve immediately with pickled vegetables.

CHEZ SOVAN CAMBODIAN BEEF STICKS



Chez Sovan Cambodian Beef Sticks image

I haven't tried these yet but can't wait to. Found the recipe on another site its from Sovan Boun Thuy, owner Chez Sovan. Ginger can be substituted for galangal if you cant find it. Time does not include the 3 hr marinade. Just a note, i would not omit the kiwi because it has a tenderising effect on meat and will add a subtle flavor that doesnt disturb even if it is not your favorite fruit.

Tips for Making Khmer Beef Skewers:

- Use high-quality beef: The quality of the beef will greatly impact the flavor of the skewers. Choose flank steak or sirloin steak, which are both tender and flavorful cuts of meat. - Cut the beef against the grain: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it more flavorful. - Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, and lemongrass will help to infuse it with flavor. - Use bamboo skewers: Bamboo skewers are the traditional choice for Khmer beef skewers. They are strong and sturdy, and they will not burn easily. - Grill the skewers over hot coals: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the skewers while keeping the inside juicy and tender. - Serve the skewers with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce is a great way to add extra flavor to the skewers. A popular choice is a mixture of fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, and chili peppers.
