Yay for half day off today. I just needed the extra time to get caught up with everything and finish up a few things. Now of course I am ready for a nap, but I still have more to do! That seems to be the way of things here at home these days!
Taking care of my friends cat while she is gone, so was over there keeping him company for a little while this afternoon and decided he really needed a good brush down. I got about half a cat in fur off him! He enjoyed the attention though. It was good practice for when I finally get my own cat at some point in the future. Still waiting on all his medicals to be done and such before I can officially adopt the Lilac Siamese. So cute he is!
Ok time for the recipe since I keep getting sidetracked and this post is taking forever to write tonight!
Beef Yakitori
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 lb sirloin steak, in 1 inch strips
In a glass or plastic bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oil, lemon juice, sesame seeds, sugar, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Thread the meat onto skewers. (If you are using wooden skewers, soak them 30 minutes first.) Place the skewers in a plastic or glass container just large enough to hold them, and pour the marinade over the meat, turning to coat well. Cover, and chill for a minimum of 4 hours. Right before cooking I dusted with some extra ginger powder, just because I wanted a deeper flavor. Grilling is an option, but I ended up broiling them, each side for about 8-10 minutes.
Served with the Ginger Orzo. Was excellent!
