Appetizer, Beef
1 lb. round or flank steak
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger root
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. Broil ribbons or grill on a hot barbecue for 3 to 4 minutes per side, basting with reserved marinade.
Makes about 30 ribbons or 15 appetizer servings.
