Skewered Korean Steak Appetizer Recipes

Steps:

• For the beef: Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the sirloin cubes with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In batches if necessary, sear the meat on all sides and cook until medium rare, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper.
• Thread the beef onto toothpicks (2 pieces per). Garnish with cilantro and serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• soak 16-12" wooden skewers in warm water for 30 mins. Thread steak onto skewers evenly. Place skewers in lg baking dish.
• In medium bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients and pour over meat. Turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hrs. ( the longer you let meat marinate, the better the flavors will meld.)
• Spray broiler rack w/ cooking spray and preheat broiler. Drain marinade into small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly until sauce is thickened, about 5-8 mins. Place skewers on broiler rack, broil 5" from heat for 4 mins. Turn and broil another 4 mins. Watch to make sure it doesn't overcook, since oven temps vary. Place skewers on platter and drizzle the sauce evenly over meat. I sometimes serve the skewers over plain white rice.

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, green onions, lemon juice, sesame seeds, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is smooth.
• Thinly slice steak with the grain into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Thread steak slices onto skewers and place in a flat plastic or glass container. Pour marinade over skewers. Cover container with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Flip skewers and continue marinating in the refrigerator, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove skewers from marinade, discarding marinade.
• Cook steak skewers on the preheated grill until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
