Beef Satay

Recipe from Rhonda Parkinson, featured on About.com.



1 1/2 lbs. beef, sliced thin and cut into 1" wide strips (I used beef stew meat)
1/3 c. soy sauce
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. minced ginger
1 tbsp. minced garlic

1. Arrange meat in a shallow glass pan.
2. Combine soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, ginger and garlic in a small bowl and mix well. Pour over meat as a marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Drain marinade and thread onto skewers.
4. Broil or grill until browned on both sides and cooked through.
5. OPTIONAL: sprinkle with sesame seeds. (This is my touch. I love sesame seeds.)

NOTE: The author of the recipe recommends soaking the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading meat onto them to help prevent them from burning.
