Beef Skewers with Asian Marinade

I have never made skewers for H before but I will say they were a huge hit.  I think like most toddlers/kids he can be a little lazy when it comes to chewing meat.  These skewers however are tiny enough to be toddler friendly and by using eye fillet beef, they were tender and easy for little mouths the manage. 

As you can see, kids love to eat food from sticks!  Just chop the pointy end off the skewer before serving

Ingredients

• 400 g Beef eye fillet
• sesame seeds
• Lemon; cut into wedges to serve
• 6 skewers

For the marinade

• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 2 tablespoons kecap manin
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons minced ginger
• 3 garlic cloves , crushed
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons malt vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

• Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Dice the beef into the toddler bite size pieces and add to the marinade. Marinade for a couple of hours minimum or preferable overnight in the refrigerator
• Soak the skewers in water (this prevents them from burning). Skewer the beef and cook on a hot grill plate or BBQ until nicely charred and cooked through. They won't take very long, so keep an eye on them. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds and lemon wedge
