Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thread beef cubes onto soaked skewers, leaving 1 inch at each end. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. Step 2

    Warm kecap manis in a small bowl. Stir in sliced shallots, lime juice, and minced chili if using.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Grill skewers 3–4 minutes per side, rotating once, until edges are charred and beef reaches desired doneness.

  5. Step 5

    Brush grilled beef generously with kecap manis mixture. Let cool 1 minute so lettuce won't wilt.

  6. Step 6

    Serve skewers on a bed of lettuce leaves, topped with cilantro and green onion. Pour extra kecap on the side.

Tools you’ll need
