Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lemongrass stalks, bottom 4 inches only, minced
3 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon packed light-brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless sirloin, trimmed of excess fat
1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts (about 1 ounce), crushed
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced on the diagonal (optional)
Fresh mint and basil sprigs, for serving
Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves, for serving
Lime wedges, for squeezing

Steps:

  • Soak 8 bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Whisk together lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, and oil. Slice beef very thinly against the grain. Add to marinade, and toss. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread beef onto skewers. Grill until browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a platter, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts. Serve with the remaining ingredients on the side, bundling the meat, cucumber, and herbs inside the lettuce leaves if desired.

These skewers were so easy to make and they turned out so delicious! I used flank steak and it was cooked perfectly. The lemongrass and other spices really gave the beef a great flavor. I will definitely be making these again.

I've tried many lemongrass beef skewer recipes, but this one is by far the best. The marinade is perfectly balanced and the beef cooks up so tender. I love the addition of the grilled pineapple, it adds a nice sweetness to the dish.
