- Note: Unlike metal skewers, wooden skewers can burn under the broiler. make sure you soak wooden skewers in water at least 10 minutes before threading food onto them to prevent any flare-ups.
Tips:
- Use high-quality beef: Opt for flank steak, skirt steak, or top round steak for the best flavor and texture.
- Slice the beef against the grain: This will help tenderize the meat and make it easier to chew.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: This will help infuse the meat with flavor and make it more tender.
- Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to caramelize the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Don't overcook the beef: Mongolian meat sticks should be cooked to medium-rare or medium, at most.
- Serve the Mongolian meat sticks with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sweet and sour sauce.
