450g lean beef sirloin, rump or topside steaks, cut into
2½cm cubes
for the marinade
30ml coconut milk
5ml light soft brown sugar
1 red chilli, de-seeded and
finely chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and
finely crushed
salt and freshly milled black pepper
1 large handful freshly
chopped coriander
extra coriander leaves and finely chopped red chilli to garnish
Method
Combine the marinade ingredients in a large shallow bowl. Thread equal amounts of the beef cubes onto 4 short metal or wooden skewers, place into the marinade and coat the beef cubes.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 mins. Cook the steaks according to preference on a pre-heated grill or barbecue, turning once. Serve scattered with extra coriander leaves and chopped red chilli, crusty bread and a spinach and tomato salad.
Note: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for 20-30 mins beforehand so they don't burn on the grill.
Cooking times: Based on a 2cm/¾inch thick steak:
Rare - 2½ mins each side
Medium - 4 mins each side
Well done - 6 mins each side
