Skewered Epidermis (Skirt Steak Skewers)

Okay, so this recipe is not really a Halloween dish all by itself. These skewers can be made anytime of year. They are really great on the grill in summer, but anytime I create a recipe, I immediately go to the dark side and think..."How can I make this for Halloween?" For this one, getting it Halloween ready is merely some fun plating with these cool images from the Internet, that I used as placemats of sorts. Skewered Epidermis is the perfect Halloween party food because they make for easy mingling and stand up eating. Drink in one hand Skewered Epidermis in the other...no problem. The meat is so tender you can bite it right off the stick. No steak knives needed. Enjoy your Summer of Halloween!

Skewered Epidermis (Skirt Steak Skewers)

Makes ~10-12 skewers

2 lbs skirt steak

Cut skirt steak, against the grain into 10-12 even, 1.5-2-inch strips and put into a re-closeable plastic bag. Prepare the marinade.

 

Marinade
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 T fresh ginger, grated
1 T sesame oil
2 green onions, light green and white parts, sliced
2 T brown sugar

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl to make the marinade. Add marinade to a beef and marinate for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.  Soak skewers in water while the meat marinates. Once you are ready to grill, skewer the beef strips and grill until done. About 3-4 minutes per side. Set them out for your guests and watch them disappear! Enjoy!
