Sirloin Kebabs with Southeast-Asian-Style Spice Paste image

This paste showcases the layered flavors typical of Southeast Asian cooking. While the lemongrass does require a bit of work, its subtle but penetrating flavor is key. Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers according to your heat tolerance and the heat level of the chiles you are using. We also like to use this spice paste on any type of grilled lamb.

Time 50m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large fresh lemongrass stalk, tough outer leaves discarded
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 tablespoons minced peeled ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 large shallot, minced
2 fresh jalapeño chiles, minced (3 tablespoons), including seeds
2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds sirloin tip, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
an electric coffee/spice grinder or a mortar and pestle; 8 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in warm water 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Mince enough lemongrass from lower 4 inches of stalk to measure 2 tablespoons.
  • Coarsely grind coriander seeds in grinder or with mortar and pestle, then stir together with lemongrass and remaining ingredients except sirloin in a bowl.
