Ingredients

  • 3 lemongrass stalks, bottom 4 inches only, minced 3 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon packed light-brown sugar 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 pound boneless sirloin, trimmed of excess fat 1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts (about 1 ounce), crushed 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced on the diagonal (optional) Fresh mint and basil sprigs, for serving Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves, for serving Lime wedges, for squeezing

Directions

Soak 8 bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes.

Whisk together lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, and oil. Slice beef very thinly against the grain. Add to marinade, and toss. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread beef onto skewers. Grill until browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a platter, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts. Serve with the remaining ingredients on the side, bundling the meat, cucumber, and herbs inside the lettuce leaves if desired.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/07/2012   This was a pretty good recipe but next time we're gonna put less fish sauce.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/02/2009   These were a huge hit at my last party.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/23/2008   PS... Rice Noodles was the side (a great addition) and the lemon grass was really tasty. Try to get it if you can.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/23/2008   Oh yum! They were great. If you are iffy on the fish sauce, then substitute teriyaki sauce. With a fish allergy in the home, I split the recipe and made two versions (one with fish sauce, one with substituting teriyaki for fish sauce.) They both turned out well, but of course the fish sauce was yummier.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/22/2008   Everybody loved them! Ate them with Rice Noodles, a complete hit!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/16/2008   These were a big hit with my kids! The marinade made a delicious glaze that did not burn since they are cooked for such a short time. I omitted the lemongrass because it was not available, and it was still great! It was so nice to be able to cook these in 5 minutes.
