Firey Asian Beef Kabobs with Hot Garlic Sauce

So... yeah... there's no picture with this recipe. That seems to happen a lot when we have steak for dinner. It is eaten up so quickly there's no time for the artistic food picture.

Anyways, this recipe came from Kikkoman, and it's pretty stinkin' good. Here's the details:

INGREDIENTS

1-1/2 pounds boneless beef sirloin steak, 1 inch thick
1/4 cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
Hot Garlic Sauce (recipe below)
6 metal or bamboo* skewers

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut beef into 1-inch square pieces.
2. Combine soy sauce, pepper, oil, lime juice, garlic and ginger; pour over beef in large plastic food storage bag. Press air out of bag; close top securely. Turn bag over several times to coat beef well. Marinate 30 minutes, turning bag over once.
3. Meanwhile, prepare Hot Garlic Sauce.
4. Thread beef onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
5. Cook kabobs on grill 5 inches from hot coals, 3 to 4 minutes on each side (for medium-rare), or to desired doneness. (Or, broil kabobs on rack of broiler pan, 3 to 4 inches from heat source, 3 to 4 minutes on each side [for medium-rare], or to desired doneness.)

Serve with Hot Garlic Sauce.

VERDICT

I skewered the beef with red peppers and zuchhini, the flavor was great! I'm not really sure what the sauce was for though. It was very runny (1/2 a cup of water??) but it did add some flavor to the plain white rice I cooked up.
