Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 Thai red chili, sliced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1 tbsp lemongrass, finely minced (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Crushed peanuts, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
- Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced Thai chili, and vegetable oil. Add optional lemongrass if using.
- Trim excess fat from sirloin and cut into even 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Place steak cubes in a glass container or zip-top bag. Pour marinade over meat, ensuring all pieces are coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
- While meat marinates, soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Thread cubes onto soaked skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F). Oil the grates lightly.
- Place skewers on preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and meat reaches desired doneness.
- Transfer to a clean plate and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For best results, don’t marinate the steak for more than 4 hours as the lime juice can start to “cook” the meat.
- You can use metal skewers instead of bamboo if preferred – no soaking required.
- Serve with coconut rice and cucumber salad for a complete Thai-inspired meal.
