Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 2 hrs 30 mins


• place ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable oil, soy sauce, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl; whisk into a smooth marinade.
• bruise lemon grass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.
• cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. thoroughly mix the beef into marinade until all beef strips are completely coated, about 1 minute. cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. thread 1/4 the meat each metal skewer.
• arrange skewers on the preheated grill and cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, about 1 to 2 minutes. flip skewers over other side and cook until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. turn first side again and cook until meat is still slightly pink, 2 more minutes. transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.
