Thai Ribbons (Satay)
1 lb round or flank steak
3 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoon rice wine or sherry
3 cloves garlic finely
2 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried hot chili pepper
Cut steak across the grain into 1/4 inch slices. In a shallow casserole, mix together
remaining ingredients. Add meat, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, overnight if possible.
Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading with meat. This prevents them from
burning. Remove meat and reserve marinade. Thread each slice lengthwise onto a bamboo skewer, in an
interlacing fashion. Keep ribbons of meat flat for uniform cooking--do not bunch up the meat. Grill
ribbons or grill over hot coals for 3-4 minutes per side, basting with reserved marinade. Makes
about 30 ribbons or 15 appetizer servings.
