Coconut and Lemongrass Steak Skewers

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 serrano chiles, chopped (seeds and all)
  • 60 ml fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tsp. honey
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 lemongrass stalks, bottom third only, tough outer layers removed, thinly sliced
  • 2 serrano chiles, with seeds if you want some heat
  • 1 2" piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 13.5-oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 80 ml seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1½ lb. trimmed hanger, flatiron, or flap (bavette) steak, cut into 1" cubes
  • Vegetable oil (for grill)
  • Kosher salt
  • Chopped cilantro (for serving)
  • Ten to twelve 8"–10" metal skewers, or bamboo, soaked 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. Whisk chiles, lime juice, oil, onion, and honey in a small bowl to combine; season with salt.

  2. Purée lemongrass, chiles, ginger, garlic, coconut milk, and vinegar in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add meat and toss to coat completely. Cover with a large plate and let sit at room temperature at least 4 hours or chill up to 1 day.

  3. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Drain marinade from meat and thread meat onto skewers; season lightly with salt. Grill, turning every 1–2 minutes, until meat is browned all over and firm around edges with just a bit of bounce in the centre when gently pressed, 6–8 minutes for medium.

  4. Transfer skewers to plates. Drizzle with dressing and scatter some cilantro over.
