Recipe





Bamboo skewers

1. Crush together the coriander, cumin, garlic, salt, sugar and tamarind liquid, and rub the paste into the cubes of beef. Marinate for one hour at room temperature.
2. Combine the dip ingredients. Put 4 cubes of beef on each skewer, dip into the sauce and broil over charcoal or in the oven for three minutes on each side.


I soak the bamboo skewers for at least a half-hour. Sometimes I just use metal skewers.
