Almost Mongolian Beef Satay

This is another terrific recipe from“The Chew”
but this recipe comes from Daphne Oz. I made a number of finger foods on New Year’s Eve and this is one of the recipes I made. This was so simple to make and had that sweet and spicy combination that we love so much. The ketchup and honey bring the sweet and the Sriracha brings the heat to the dish! I would say the most difficult part of this recipe is slicing the flank steak really thin. That’s why I asked my butcher to do it and he was more than happy to do so!
NOTE:   1/2 pound of flank steaks makes about 12 skewers depending on how thin the meat is sliced. You can easily double or triple this recipe. You will need wooden or metal skewers.  If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes so they do not burn under the broiler.This can also be prepared the day before a party and place skewers into the broiler before guests arrive.

BEEF INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
3 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 Tablespoon dark brown sugar
3 cloves of garlic, minced and peeled
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 lime, cut into wedges for serving

SAUCE INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce with the cornstarch until it is completely dissolved. Add the remaining soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and sesame oil. Add the beef to the mixture, turn to coat the beef.  Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes or overnight.
For the sauce- in a small bowl whisk together ketchup, honey, Sriracha, salt and pepper.
Line a baking sheet with foil, remove the steak from the marinade and blot dry with a paper towel. Thread one piece of meat onto each skewer and set them on prepared baking sheet.
Adjust the oven rack so that is about 3 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler to high. Brush both sides of the skewers with the sauce and broil skewers for about 3 minutes (could be longer depending on the thickness of the steak).  Turn the skewers and broil another 3 minutes or longer. You want the beef to be browned and cooked through. Serve beef skewers warm with lime wedges.

Enjoy!
