Sesame Beef And Scallion Kebabs Recipes

GRILLED ASIAN SESAME BEEF SKEWERS

Steps:

• Trim the beef tenderloin of any fat and membrane. Cut into 1 inch cubes.
• Make the marinade by mixing the oils, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger and chili flakes together.
• Place beef cubes in a bowl, pour the marinade over them and toss to ensure all the beef is coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least one hour to marinate.
• Soak skewers for at least 15 minutes before adding the meat.
• When ready to grill, place the meat on the skewers.
• Grill on medium high for about 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. This will cook the beef to medium rare. Adjust the grill time for suit your desired doneness.
• Place on a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.

ASIAN BEEF SALAD WITH CILANTRO, SCALLIONS AND SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Place sesame seeds in a small skillet and set pan over medium-low heat. Cook 1 to 3 minutes, until just golden brown, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place lettuce in a large bowl (or divide onto individual dishes). Top lettuce with beef, carrots, scallions and cilantro.
• In a small bowl, whisk together broth, vinegar and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour mixture over salad, and top with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

SEARED SESAME SCALLOPS AND TERIYAKI STEAK WITH SEARED CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the ginger and teriyaki in a shallow dish. Rub steaks with a little grill seasoning and turn in teriyaki sauce and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Wipe pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil.
• Pat scallops dry. Combine the sesame and chives and roll the sides of the scallops in the mixture. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear scallops and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side to caramelize them. Remove scallops to a plate and drizzle with sesame oil and serve.
• Heat a large skillet with a couple tablespoons vegetable oil over high heat. Add steaks and cook 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove and let steaks set 5 minutes. Add the cabbage to the pan and stir fry 2 minutes then add in the onions, garlic, cook a minute or 2, add cucumbers and hot sauce, salt and pepper, vinegar and zest of 1 lime and juice of 2 limes.
• Slice steaks very thin on an angle and serve on hot 'n spicy cabbage salad, garnish with cilantro.

SESAME BEEF AND SCALLION KEBABS

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, the garlic, the oil, the gingerroot, the sugar, the vinegar, the sesame seeds, and the pepper. Thread the steak cubes loosely onto 4 of the skewers and thread the remaining skewer crosswise through the middle of each scallion so that the scallions stand parallel to one another. Put the beef and scallion kebabs in a shallow dish just large enough to hold them, pour the marinade over them, coating them well, and let the kebabs marinate, chilled, turning them frequently, for 25 minutes. Grill the kebabs on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals, turning them, for 10 minutes. Alternatively the kebabs may be broiled under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat in the same manner.) Divide the beef and the scallions, both removed from the skewer, between 2 plates.

NEGIMAKI

Steps:

• Stir together the soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a pie dish or similar shallow container until the sugar is almost dissolved. Set the marinade aside.
• Cut the beef with the grain into 24 slices, each about 1/2 inch thick. Working in batches, arrange a few slices cut-side up on a piece of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches between each slice. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until the slices are 1/8 inch thick or a little less.
• Lay 3 slices on a work surface parallel to you with the long sides slightly overlapping (by about 1/4 inch). Cut 3 pieces of scallion the same width as the beef and place them across the meat at the end closest to you. Tightly roll the meat around the scallions, starting at the end closest to you. Secure the roll with 2 toothpicks--1 placed horizontally along each of the 2 "seams." Repeat with the remaining beef and scallions. You will end up with 8 rolls.
• Place the rolls in the marinade, turn to coat and marinate, turning once halfway through, for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate, letting any excess marinade drain off, and pat dry (reserve the marinade).
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rolls and brown on 4 sides, 3 or 4 minutes total (the middle should still be rare). When you flip the rolls the last time, reduce the heat to medium, add the reserved marinade and simmer, turning the rolls a few times, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. (The meat should still be pink in the middle at this point. If you prefer your meat more well done, simmer it a little longer; just be careful not to reduce the sauce too much. If that happens, thin it with a little water.)
• Transfer the rolls to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, remove the toothpicks. Using a very sharp knife, cut the rolls crosswise into pieces about 1 inch wide and serve upright on plates. Drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.

SWEET-AND-SPICY BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, Sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Add the beef and onion and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Thread the beef, onion and scallions onto eight 10-inch skewers and brush with more oil. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until marked, about 7 minutes for medium rare.

SWEET AND SPICY BACON KEBABS WITH SCALLION-GINGER RELISH

Steps:

• Make the relish:
• Toss scallions, chile, lime juice, oil, ginger, and brown sugar in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt.
• Make the bacon kebabs:
• Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Oil grates. Combine honey, sambal oelek, vinegar, and Sriracha in a small bowl; set glaze aside.
• Thread bacon onto 6-8 skewers, folding back and forth in accordion style, and grill over indirect heat, turning every minute or so, until browned and crisp, 10-12 minutes. Baste with reserved glaze, turning every 30 seconds or so, until lacquered and slightly sticky, about 3 minutes (move to an even cooler spot if needed to keep glaze from scorching). Serve bacon with relish and lime wedges.
• Do Ahead
• Glaze can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.

GRILLED BEEF KEBABS WITH SCALLIONS, CILANTRO, AND MINT

Steps:

• Toast peppercorns and coriander in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling pan, until spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder, and process until finely ground.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, ginger, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in ground spices, and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in turmeric. Transfer scallion mixture to a large bowl, and let cool, about 20 minutes.
• Add beef, cilantro, and mint to scallion mixture, and gently mix. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Divide meat mixture into 16 pieces, then form each piece into a log, 1 1/2 inches thick. Slide a skewer lengthwise through center of each log. Place a lemon wedge on end of each skewer. Place skewers on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Season kebabs with salt and pepper. Arrange on grill, and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes. Carefully turn skewers a third of the way, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn skewers a third of the way again, and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer skewers to a plate, garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.
