Lemongrass BBQ Beef Skewers សាច់គោ

Cambodian style beef sticks are a staple. If you want to try a protein dish from Khmer cuisine I highly recommend this dish. It is so earthy and flavorful. I utilize my golden herb paste in this recipe. This golden paste is comprised of (lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and chilis which are optional)

This dish is best served with a hot steaming bowl of rice or a side of crispy, spicy, crunchy papaya salad or a pickled slaw. Cambodians typically have this dish during gatherings, or major events. The reason being is because it is so versatile and many people are able to eat this dish while conversating and mingling. When foods are served on a stick it just makes it taste that much better.

This dish is a staple in Khmer cuisine. It is so tasty and delicious, the earthy undertones of the herbs and spices that go into this dish make it so flavorful and jampacked with umami flavors.

Ingredients

Seasoning Ingredients

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

What you will need

• 3-4 lb of chuck beef cut into 1 inch thin slices

Kreung Ingredients

• 1 knub of ginger
• 3 thai chili

Instructions

Instructions

1. chop your chuck beef into bite size pieces
2. add your seasoning ingredients to the beef
3. let beef marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavors
4. soak your bamboo skewers for an 30 minutes to an hour prior so it does not burn on the grill
5. skewer your meat from top to bottom until you have a nice beef stick

Notes

you can soak your skewers overnight if you have the time

I highly recommend to blend your kreung paste but be sure to be careful as turmeric stains
