Ingredients
Marinade:
1 cup peanut oil
3 stalks lemongrass, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried chile peppers
2 1/2 tablespoons Thai curry powder
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce (can be purchased at most grocery stores)
Beef:
3 pounds beef top round or flank, cut into 1/2-inch thick strips
Peanut Sauce, recipe follows
Peanut Sauce:
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 slices chile pepper, minced
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemongrass
12 ounces water
Directions
Special equipment:
wooden skewers- Combine marinade ingredients in a shallow pan or bowl. Add beef and marinate, in the refrigerator, for 1 to 3 hours. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Skewer the meat and then grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness. Serve with peanut sauce.
Peanut Sauce:
- Heat peanut oil in a saute pan over low heat. Add garlic and "sweat" (cook until it softens and releases moisture but does not color) over low heat until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Add the chile peppers and continue to cook for another minute. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Adjust the consistency with additional water, if necessary.
