Mongolian Beef


Mongolian Beef Satay


Mongolian Beef Satay from favfamilyrecipes.comThis Mongolian Beef Satay started out as an experiment and turned out amazing!!  I have been wanting to try a beef satay but I wasn’t crazy about any of the recipes I found online.  So I decided to take the ingredients from our Mongolian Beef recipe and condense them into a marinade.  At first my husband was a little annoyed that I cut up all the beef for this recipe (he had wanted to make a steak) but he took one bite and changed his tune pretty fast!  In fact, he kept sneaking sticks of it and before I knew it, the beef satay was all gone!  I am going to have to make it again and keep the next batch all to myself.  :)
Most beef satay recipes have a peanut dipping sauce, which if you prefer you can find HERE on our chicken satay recipe.  But I decided to mix things up and do a spicy sauce which made the meal a yummy combination of sweet and spicy!
Mongolian Beef Satay
Ingredients
  • 2 to 3 lbs sirloin steaks
  • chopped peanuts (for garnish)
  • wood skewers
  • Marinade:
  • 2 Tbsp. peanut oil (or veg. oil if you are allergic)
  • 1 tsp. ginger
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • red pepper flakes, to taste
  • 1/2 c. soy sauce
  • 1/2 c. dark brown sugar
  • Spicy Dipping Sauce:
  • 1/2 c. mayonnaise
  • 1/4 c. sour cream
  • 1 tsp. sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 tsp. lime juice
  • pinch of garlic powder
Instructions
  • Mix together the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Cut the beef into long thin strips, then stir it into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. About an hour before serving, mix together the sauce ingredients and refrigerate. Then soak the wood skewers in a water bath. (This will keep them from catching on fire during grilling).
  • About 20 minutes before serving, thread the meat onto the skewers, baste the meat with some of the marinade, then discard the excess.
  • Grill for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side over direct high heat, only turning once.
  • Garnish with chopped peanuts and serve with spicy dipping sauce.
