What’s the serving size?
Makes 12
What do I need?
For the oyster chilli sauce
- 150ml oyster sauce
- 50ml chicken stock
- 2 long red chillis, sliced. Remove the seeds if you don’t like too much spice.
- 2 spring onions, sliced
For the skewers
- 12 bamboo skewers
- 400g rump steak, cut into 4cm strips
- 50ml light soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
How do I make it?
- Soak the wooden skewers in warm water for 1 hr before you want to use them.
- Drop the meat into a bowl with the soy sauce and sesame oil and leave for a while, preferably 1 hr.
- Thread onto skewers and refrigerate until you need them.
- Heat barbecue or a grill pan until very hot. These need to cook quick and fast, so heat is important. Turn every 30 secs or so; cook for 4-5 mins in total. They should be slightly crisp outside but cooked inside.
- Heat the oyster sauce with the stock in a small saucepan, then take off the heat and stir in the sliced chilli and spring onions.
- Spoon over the beef and serve.
