Thai Beef Skewers with a Spicy Homemade Red Chili Sauce

Thai beef skewers with a homemade chili sauce is my go-to favorite thing to make right now. I love to wrap these up in lettuce with cucumbers and shiso leaf.

Ingredients

For The Dripping Sauce

5 thai chili's
5 red jalapeños
5 shallots
5 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 stick lemongrass
juice of 3-4 limes
1 teaspoon fish sauce

For The Steak Marinade

1 lb skirt steak
1 stick leemongrass
1 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 thumb ginger
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
serve with shiso leaf, cucumbers, lettuce wraps, and thai basil

Instructions

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and soak your skewers. Chop and add your thai chili, jalapeño, shallot and garlic on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and salt. Bake for 30-40 minutes until everything is charred throughout.
In the meantime, make your marinade by slicing your skirt steak in strips and mixing with lemongrass, pepper, your thai blend, soy sauce, ginger and oil. Set aside for 30-1hour.
In a food processor, blend your charred chilis and aromatics and add in salt, sugar, oil, lemongrass, lime juice and fish sauce. Blend until a thick dipping sauce forms, almost like a paste.
On a cast iron skillet or grill, start to make your steak. Remove from the marinade and put on soaked skewers evenly with the strips. Heat your skillet and add your skewers to char and cook your steak. Remove and set aside.
Assemble your dish with your dipping sauce, cucumbers, thai basil, lettuce wraps and shiso leaf.
