Method

  1. 1 Mix chili paste with chopped lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar to make the marinade.
  2. 2 Slice the beef into 8 mm thick slices and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. 3 Skewer the beef slices onto bamboo skewers in a zigzag pattern to make them thick and juicy.
  4. 4 Bake at 240 degrees for 8 minutes, flipping once at minute 5.
  5. 5 Because chili paste contains a lot of chili oil, it should be grilled quickly at high heat; grilling for too long will cause the chili oil to burn.
  6. 6 Sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts and chopped scallions, then squeeze in some lemon juice before serving.

With an appliance

  • Charcoal grill 35 min

    Grill over charcoal at a distance of 12 cm for 6 minutes, flipping at the 3rd minute; keep away from the charcoal as the chili oil is highly flammable.
