Chef Calvin Eng’s Beef Skewer Recipe combines tender hanger steak with a rich, flavorful sungold tomato sauce, enhanced with a hint of umami from Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster Sauce. Grilled to perfection and topped with a jammy glaze, this dish offers a flavorful, juicy, and satisfying grilled meal.
Dice hanger steak into bite-sized pieces (about ½” x ½”). Marinate the steak with the marinade sauces for 30 minutes to 1 hour, at room temperature. Heat 8 cups of oil in a wok until it reaches 350°F.
Oil blanch the steak in 5-6 batches for about 40 seconds each. Cool on a sheet tray, then skewer the pieces onto 7” bamboo skewers, alternating larger and smaller pieces until the skewer is full. Heat a pan or grill and sear or grill both sides of the skewers until slightly charred, then set aside.
To prepare the sauce, heat neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger, garlic, and scallions, and sweat until fragrant. Add sungold tomatoes and cook over medium-high heat.
Allow the tomatoes to burst and pop. Season with salt, fried garlic, and Premium Oyster Sauce. Toss to continue cooking until the mixture forms a jammy paste.
Add in 1/4 cup of water and allow to simmer until jammy and soft and slightly reduced. Blend on high until smooth and spoon over skewers.
