List of Ingredients



• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
  
• 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  
• 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  
• 1 pound beef tenderloin, trimmed, cut into 16 equal cubes
  
• 2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  
• 1 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
  
• 1 Tbsp honey
  
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  
• 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  
• ¼ cup unsalted roasted almonds
  
• 3 Tbsp panko
  
• 4 scallions, trimmed; each cut into 4 pieces
  
• 4 cherry tomatoes
  






Instructions



1. Combine egg white, ginger, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce in bowl. Add beef cubes and toss well. Marinate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and remaining 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce. Set aside.
   
   
2. Preheat oven to 425° F. Coat a baking sheet and wire rack with cooking spray. Grind almonds in food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a large plate and add panko. Alternately thread 4 beef cubes and 4 scallion pieces onto each of 4 skewers. Working with one at a time, roll each skewer in the almond mixture, coating lightly. Spoon the mixture over each to coat, then top each skewer with a cherry tomato. Set skewers on rack and place rack onto baking sheet.
   
   
3. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned and the beef is cooked to the desired doneness (medium-rare or medium). Drizzle with reserved hoisin mixture and serve.
