Oriental Steak Skewers

~Nimz~'s Note:

Just plain yummy. These are fit for company. Served with a creamy mustard sauce. Adapted from TOH. The instructions are based on my cut of meat and may vary depending on how many slices of meat you get. The recipe said 16 slices but I only got 8. I doubled the marinade when I made it but not in the recipe.

5+ Stars!!! I think I cut my steak wrong, but who cares...this was delicious. I had extra little pieces of meat that I tacked on to the skewer...everything was fabulous! I forgot to take a pic of the horseradish sauce, but it is wonderful as well. I marinaded for 6 hours, and this was tender and fabulous tasting. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe.

It is quite rare for me to prepare steak and this was a wonderful way to enjoy this indulgence. I took a chance and made the marinade with Splenda allowing the meat to soak overnight before cooking in the broiler. Though the preparation was a little fussy, the results were delicious and fun to eat. I can envision making little single bundles on toothpicks for a party. Thanks!

We enjoyed these tonight. The flavors are great. My 4 stars are simply because these skewers take a bit longer to prep than I usually have time for... but that's just me!! Thanks for posting! PS- Once again, I subbed Vidalia onion for red onion!!
