beef satay skewers
Ingredients - Serves 4 Method
1kg beef, trimmed
50ml Grappolini Paneolio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
½ tsp salt
6 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp dark brown sugar
4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp red chili pepper flakes
2 tbsp honey
Cut the beef into very thin one-by-five inch strips and set aside. Blend together the toasted sesame seeds and salt in a blender and drizzle over the Paneolio to form a sesame cream. Mix the soy sauce, Paneolio, sugar, vinegar, garlic, chili pepper flakes, sesame cream and honey in a small bowl until well combined. Place the beef pieces into the soy sauce mixture and gently toss to coat well. Leave to marinate in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Prepare the grill. Soak the wooden skewers as needed in water for about 30 minutes. Arrange the beef strips on a sheet of wax paper and carefully thread them onto the skewers. Place the meat skewers onto a grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the beef is done and slightly charred.
Serve Immediately.
The marinating time may be increased to 24 hours. The wooden skewers should be soaked in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.
