Filipino Beef Jerky Skewers
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 2 cups soy sauce
- 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup white sugar
- 8 green onions, cleaned and chopped
- 4 slices fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and lightly smashed
- 1 cup plus 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
- lime wedges, for garnish
- In a medium saucepan, make the marinade by combining 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, green onions, ginger and garlic.
- Bring mixture to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add in remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar and 1 cup honey.
- Bring to a boil.
- The marinade will foam up and double in size.
- Once it has boiled and doubled in size, immediately remove from heat and let cool.
- To expedite cooling, you can transfer marinade to a glass or metal bowl and place bowl in an ice bath.
- When marinade has fully cooled, place meat in marinade for about 12 hours, refrigerated.
- If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes in water first.
- When you are ready to cook the steak, heat grill, remove meat from marinade and pat dry.
- Slice steak 1/4 thick at an angle, against the grain.
