Ingredients

1 pound Boneless beef sirloin steak 3/4" to 1" -- thick
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Dry sherry
2 tablespoons Sesame oil
1/4 cup Green onion -- sliced
2 cloves Garlic -- minced
2 tablespoons Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Ground ginger
1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
1/2 cup Crunchy peanut butter
3/4 cup Water

Directions

1
Place the beef steak in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to slice.
2
Remove beef from freezer and slice into 1/4-inch thick strips against the grain.
3
In a shallow glass dish, whisk together soy sauce, dry sherry, sesame oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes.
4
Add the beef strips to the marinade, turning to coat them evenly.
5
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
6
While the beef marinates, soak twenty-four 8-inch bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
7
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
8
Drain the beef strips from the marinade, discarding the liquid.
9
Thread the beef strips onto the soaked skewers, packing them tightly.
10
Grill the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and slightly charred.
11
While the beef grills, combine the crunchy peanut butter and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
12
Stir continuously until the peanut butter melts and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
13
Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes into the peanut sauce.
14
Brush the grilled beef skewers generously with the warm peanut sauce.
15
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Note

Soaking bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes before grilling prevents them from catching fire on the grill.

For a smoother sauce, you can substitute crunchy peanut butter with smooth peanut butter, though the crunchy variety adds a pleasant textural contrast.

If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes to 1/4 teaspoon or omit entirely.

Leftover peanut sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before reheating.
