Sweet & Spicy Asian Surf & Turf Skewers
The Asian-accented marinade adds lots of flavor. Calorie counters can enjoy the skewers with a big salad instead of the rice. Serves 4.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon red chile flakes
- 1/3 cup cola (not sugar-free)
- 2 dozen large shrimp (about a pound), deveined but not peeled
- 2-1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-1/2-inch chunks
- 1 dozen bamboo skewers (10-12-inches long), soaked in water
for at least an hour
- No-stick cooking spray
- White or brown rice; mix toasted sesame seeds, finely-chopped
nuts
and/or minced chives into rice for extra flavor
Preparation
- Prepare rice.
- For marinade, combine olive oil, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, green onion, cilantro, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame seeds, black pepper, red chile flakes and cola in a large bowl and mix well.
- Place shrimp into a large freezer-type plastic bag. Pour half the marinade mixture over top, mix well, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Place sirloin chunks in a separate bag and repeat the same procedure with the remaining marinade (sirloin may be marinated for a little longer if desired).
- Alternately thread marinated sirloin chunks and shrimp onto pre-soaked bamboo skewers (aim for 2 shrimp and 3 sirloin chunks per skewer).
- Spray grill grate with no-stick cooking spray. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Arrange skewers on prepared grill and grill for about 3 minutes per side or until shrimp is cooked through and sirloin is cooked to medium-rare or better.
