Grilled Steak Skewers with Scallion Sauce
Description
This recipe prepares ribeye steak cut into one-inch cubes, marinated in a puréed mixture of coconut milk, brown sugar, fresh lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, and ginger. Marinating for at least two hours tenderizes the meat and infuses it with flavor. The steak is threaded onto skewers spaced to allow even grilling and cooked quickly over medium-high heat to develop a charred surface.
The accompanying scallion sauce combines thinly sliced scallions with fish sauce, grapeseed oil, balsamic vinegar, and sesame seeds. It is stirred just before serving to provide a tangy, umami-rich dip that contrasts the richness of the grilled beef and enhances the overall flavor profile. Excess sauce can be served over white rice for additional use.
Serving methods include presenting the skewers with the scallion sauce for dipping. Choosing tender cuts like ribeye, sirloin, or filet ensures a juicy result. Pre-soaking wooden skewers prevents burning, and resting the cooked skewers briefly helps juices redistribute. Monitoring internal steak temperature can achieve desired doneness.
Ingredients
For the Steak
- 1 cup coconut milk canned, unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 jalapeño stem and seeds removed
- 2 inch ginger peeled, piece
- 2 pounds ribeye steak cut into 1 inch cubes
Scallion Dipping Sauce
- 15 scallions very thinly sliced
- ¼ cup fish sauce such as nuoc nam or nam pla
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
For the Meat and Marinade
- Purée all ingredients except steak in a blender until smooth. Trim any excess fat from meat and discard. Cut meat into approximately 1" cubes. Place meat in a large bowl with marinade and toss to coat; cover and chill for at least 2 hours, overnight if possible.
- Remove meat from marinade. Thread onto skewers, leaving a little bit of space at the ends of skewers for easy turning. Discard marinade
- Heat your grill to medium high heat.
- Place the skewers onto the grill, making sure to evenly space them out for optimum char, and grill for about 2 minutes on all 4 sides. Remove and set aside.
For the Scallion Dipping Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl just before you begin grilling; stir occasionally.
To Serve
- Serve the skewers alongside the scallion sauce and enjoy. If you have extra scallion sauce, it's excellent served over plain white rice!
Notes
- Select tender cuts such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet sliced about 1 inch thick for even cooking.
- Marinate the steak at least 2 hours or overnight for flavor and tenderness.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Arrange steak evenly on skewers with space between pieces to ensure even grilling and good charring.
- Preheat grill to medium-high and monitor cooking to sear all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Use a meat thermometer aiming for 135°F for medium-rare doneness.
- Allow skewers to rest a few minutes after grilling to redistribute juices.
