Skewered Korean Steak Appetizer Recipes

ASIAN BEEF SKEWERS

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.

• Remove from the refrigerator and thread one piece of beef onto a 6" bamboo skewer. Repeat with the remaining beef, set onto a decorative platter and garnish with chopped cilantro.

SKEWERED STEAK DINNER

Steps:

• Mix beef and dressing in shallow glass or plastic dish. Cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat 1 inch water to boiling in 1 1/2-quart saucepan. Add potatoes. Boil about 15 minutes or until almost tender; drain. Cool slightly.
• Heat coals or gas grill. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade. Thread beef, potatoes, onion, mushrooms, bell peppers and squash alternately on each of twelve 7-inch metal skewers, leaving space between each piece. Brush kabobs generously with marinade.
• Cover and grill kabobs 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 12 to 15 minutes for medium beef doneness, turning frequently and brushing with marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.

KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put the steak in the freezer for 30 mins - it will firm up and be much easier to slice thinly. Meanwhile, make a marinade. Put the soy, sugar, mirin, ginger, garlic, pineapple, chilli flakes and oil in a food processor. Blitz until smooth, then pour into a bowl.
• When the meat is semi-frozen, thinly slice into 25 pieces and add to the marinade. Chill until ready to use, but don't leave for longer than 2 hrs or the pineapple juice will break down the meat too much.
• Meanwhile, soak small wooden skewers in water for 10 mins. When ready to serve, thread a piece of meat onto each skewer. Heat a griddle pan, or frying pan, and brown skewers for 1-2 mins each side or until grill marks appear. Add a little more oil to the pan if needed.
• Mix together the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the skewers with lettuce, sesame seeds, spring onions and dipping sauce.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Discard marinade, and thread steak on skewers.
• Oil the grill grate. Grill skewers 3 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

AWESOME KOREAN STEAK

GRILLED KOREAN STEAK

Steps:

• In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except beef.
• Score beef crosswise by making cuts 1/2 inch apart and 1/4 inch deep (beef will absorb more of the marinade and cook more evenly). Place beef in bag; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 2 hours to marinate, turning bag once after 1 hour.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade in 1-quart saucepan. Pat beef dry with paper towel. Place beef on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes. Turn beef; cover grill and cook 10 to 15 minutes longer for medium-rare (145°F). Cook 2 minutes longer for medium (160°F).
• Meanwhile, heat reserved marinade to boiling over medium-high heat; boil 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and discard garlic.
• To serve, cut beef into slices; spoon sauce over beef.
