Hanoi Beef Kabobs Recipes

MARINATED BEEF KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide cubes.
• Mix Marinade in a bowl. Add beef. Marinate for 1 - 24 hours, minimum 20 minutes.
• Cut capsicum and onion into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide squares.
• Thread beef (reserve Marinade), vegetables and mushrooms on each skewer. I use 2 pieces of vegetables between each piece of beef. Thread loosely - don't smush together tightly (helps even cooking).
• Brush kebabs lightly with Reserved Marinade (including vegetables), then drizzle with olive oil.
• Heat BBQ or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil, then when smoking, cook kebabs in batches for 2 minutes on each side until slightly charred (4 sides = 8 minutes in total), basting with Reserved Marinade as you go.
• Transfer to plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired. See note for pictured Pink Dipping Sauce.

KOREAN BEEF KABOBS (ASIAN)

Steps:

• Cut tenderloin or sirloin beef up into big chunks (2" x 2" cubes). Score 1/4' deep all sides with a sharp knife (several slices per side). Using a two prong fork, pierce the meet repeatedly on all sides (3 or 4 times per side). This will allow the juices to work their way deep into the meat.
• Chop the scallions (just the white part) and mince the garlic.
• Add all the ingrediences together and pour over the meat in a non-reactive container. I use a large zip lock bag.
• Marinate the meet for at least 12 hrs (24 is best).
• Place the meat on skewers with your choice of veggies in between. I like onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
• Grill over hot coals turning occasionally and brushing often with remaining marinade. Cook to desired doneness.

• TO MAKE THE MARINADE: In a small bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients.Cut the sirloin into 1 1/4 inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, turning occasionally.Remove the meat from the bag and discard the marinade. Skewer the meat alternately with the onions, threading the onions cross wise. Allow the kabobs to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.Grill the kabobs over Direct Medium heat until the meat is medium rare, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.
