GRILLED SKEWERED BEEF
Found online and posted for ZWT 7, South Pacific. The author claims this is of Japanese origin but has become a very popular Polynesian dish. Prep time includes marinating time.

Steps:
- Put the steak in the freezer for 30 mins - it will firm up and be much easier to slice thinly. Meanwhile, make a marinade. Put the soy, sugar, mirin, ginger, garlic, pineapple, chilli flakes and oil in a food processor. Blitz until smooth, then pour into a bowl.
- When the meat is semi-frozen, thinly slice into 25 pieces and add to the marinade. Chill until ready to use, but don't leave for longer than 2 hrs or the pineapple juice will break down the meat too much.
- Meanwhile, soak small wooden skewers in water for 10 mins. When ready to serve, thread a piece of meat onto each skewer. Heat a griddle pan, or frying pan, and brown skewers for 1-2 mins each side or until grill marks appear. Add a little more oil to the pan if needed.
- Mix together the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the skewers with lettuce, sesame seeds, spring onions and dipping sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are great options for this recipe, as they are both flavorful and tender.
- Slice the beef thinly: This will help the beef cook evenly and quickly.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Use a hot grill or pan: This will help to sear the beef and create a nice crust.
- Cook the beef quickly: Overcooking the beef will make it tough, so cook it just until it is cooked through.
- Serve the beef immediately: Ginger beef is best served hot off the grill or pan.
Conclusion:
Skewered ginger beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a party appetizer. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the ginger-soy sauce marinade gives it a unique and delicious taste. Whether you serve it on skewers or in a bowl, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
