About the Recipe

Ingredients
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup fish sauce
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoon Calabrian pepper paste or chopped in oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 pounds beef tenderloin tip or beef sirloin trimmed
4 12-inch-long metal skewers
Preparation
In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, onion, oil, soy sauce, coriander, ginger, cumin, turmeric, and Calabrian pepper until smooth.
Cut beef tenderloin tips into strips about 2 ½ inches long and ⅛ inch thick. Stir the beef into the marinade until it is completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
Remove the beef from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade. Thread ¼ of the meat onto each metal skewer. Discard the remaining marinade.
Arrange skewers on the preheated grill; cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the skewers and continue cooking until the meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 ½ minutes. Flip the skewers again; cook until the meat is still slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the skewers to a platter; let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
