Appetizers : Hot appetizers Last Updated: Nov 28th, 2009 - 08:29:53 Hoisin Steak Skewers By Sandra Woodruff  Printer friendly page Yield: 16 appetizers 16 six-inch wooden skewers 1 pound well-trimmed beef top sirloin steak 16 wedges yellow onion (about 1/2 inch wide) 16 pieces red or green bell pepper (1/2 inch by 1 inch) 16 small fresh mushrooms MARINADE 1/3 cup pineapple or orange juice 1/2 cup hoisin sauce 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1/2 teaspoon dried ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper 1. Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes (to prevent burning.) 2. Cut the beef across the grain into strips, about 1/2-inch wide, and place in a shallow nonmetal container. Place all of the marinade ingredients in a small bowl and stir to mix well. Pour 1/4 cup of the marinade over the beef, toss to mix, and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours. Place the remaining marinade in the refrigerator and reserve for basting. 3. When ready to cook, loosely weave a 6-inch strip of beef, 1 onion wedge, 1 bell pepper strip, and 1 mushroom onto each skewer. 4. Grill the skewers, covered, over medium coals (or broil under a preheated broiler) for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is nicely browned and cooked through. Baste with the reserved marinade during the last half of cooking. Serve hot.
