Ingredients

• 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak 2 cups fresh Thai basil leaves 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsp fish sauce 2 tsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp brown sugar 1/2 tsp white pepper 8 wooden or metal skewers 2 cups peanuts, roughly chopped 1/4 cup water 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp lime juice 1 tbsp sriracha Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced sirloin, half of the minced garlic, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, white pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, then marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. While the beef is marinating, prepare the spicy peanut dipping sauce by combining roughly chopped peanuts, water, remaining minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, sriracha, and salt to taste in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
3. Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Set aside.
4. Preheat your outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to high heat. Grill the skewers for 1 2 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
5. Serve the beef skewers immediately, garnished with fresh Thai basil leaves and a generous drizzle of the spicy peanut dipping sauce.

Chef’s Insight

The key to these mouthwatering skewers is a well-balanced marinade that imparts deep flavor into the beef while complementing the bright and aromatic Thai basil.

Notes
