Oriental Beef Sticks

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean beef strips
  • 1/2 cup plum sauce
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced chili

Directions

  1. Prepare a fire in a grill to a high heat. Push beef strips onto 8-12 oiled bamboo skewers.

  2. Combine all remaining ingredients and brush over meat. Cook skewers for 3-4 minutes each over meat. Cook skewers for 3-4 minutes each side, brushing repeatedly with the spicy sauce.

  3. If you like to add vegetables to your skewers, make sure the pieces are the same size as the meat. Button mushrooms and summer (baby) squash can be used whole. Fruit can work well (both for its color and flavor), but it must be firm, not overripe or soft. Onion is great on a kabob. Cook for a few minutes first by simmering in water or cooking for a minute in the microwave oven.
