WOW great! I think i marinated mine for too long more than 24 hours and it turned out extra tender - falling off the skewers while on the bbq.. Next time I'll try it for 3 hours instead and maybe slice my flank steak a little thicker... Great flavor mmmm thx for sharing

We made this recipe for our Labor Day cookout yesterday, and they went fast! My husband forgot to add the ginger to the marinade and they still turned out great. I think he added a little bit of dark sesame oil to the marinade as well. We'll be sure to include the ginger next time for extra flavor. Both my sister and best friend demanded the recipe. We're doubling this recipe next time!

This was so d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! Just like the Chinese restaurant, but better! You'll kick yourself, because you'll wish you had made more. It goes fast!

I would give this 100 stars if I could! I really enjoy cooking, but the one thing I find difficult to make at home is asian food. It never seems as good as at a restaurant. Well, these beef skewers are even better than I've ever had a restaurant. I followed the recipe exactly as written, except that I subsituted rice vinegar for the sherry- not something I usually have. I let the beef marinade for about 6 hours. It was incredibly tender. Sometimes, I've had trouble with flank steak being a little tough, but this just melted in your mouth. It was kind of a pain skewering all those slices of meat, but it was worth it in the end!

Wonderful! I didn't measure anything and used white wine instead of sherry.

Great recipe and easy to prepare. I served them with Sesame Green Beans, Peanut butter noodles and a wonderful mandarin orange/almond salad with Marie's Asian Vinaigrette Dressing from the store. This made a wonderful dinner party!

Oh if only I could give 10 stars! The only substitution I made was to use white wine instead of sherry because that's what I had. My batch didn't come out too salty at all as some folks complained. My only explanation for this is that I only ever use low-sodium soy sauce. I don't know if this is what made the difference, though. I also lightly sprinkled sesame seeds on a few of the skewers the last few minutes of grilling. I've never cooked with hoisin sauce or even ginger root before so I was a little leary, but oh my gosh! For our bbq yesterday, I used several recipes from this site: the basil shrimp skewers were the second biggest hit. I also tried the basic kabobs recipe just with veggies (was just eh. Probably won't make again.), BBQ Sausage & Peppers (next time will just throw the Johnsonville Brats on the grill instead of going thru all this trouble), and then did our old standby of marinading overnight chicken breast chunks in Italian dressing (the third best recipe of the day). Vivian, thank you SO much for your recipe!

Don't look any further for a beef skewer marinade or beef satay recipe. This is it! I loved it, it's exactly the taste I was hoping for. I used flank steak, marinated for exactly 2 hours. It was sooo tender and flavorful, I was really pleasantly surprised. I sub'd rice vinegar as one reviewer suggested. Served with peanut sauce, rice and shrimp. De-lish! Thanks so much, Vivian!!

This recipe was excellent. I used a type of meat, called flap steak, which I generally use for Asian and Mexican recipes. I only marinated it for 1 hour, and instead of threading the strips onto skewers, I put the beef and marinade in a broiler pan lined with foil and cooked the dish in a very hot oven for about 15 minutes (too cold outside!). The result was extremely tender and flavorful meat. I served it over jasmine rice accompanied by Sweet and Spicy Green Beans from this site. My husband and teenage children loved it. I will definitely make this recipe again.

Fantastic. We marinated for 2 days (we had seafood in the fridge that needed to be eaten first), but once we got to eating it, it was wonderful, truly. We grilled it with some broccoli and green onion and served over rice. It was truly amazing, better than any takeout. Thanks!

This was excellent. I marinated it for 2 hours and it turned out perfectly. My 3 year old was trying to grab them off the grill. I used the flank steak and the meat was melt in your mouth tender. My 16th month old little girl couldn't get enough. Needless to say we will be making it again. Thanks!

Why did this sit in my recipe box for a year before I tried it?! It's one of the best steak marinades that I've ever had! It wasn't distinctively asian, but I got tired of grating the ginger root--perhaps this was my fault. Anyhow, I will definitely use this recipe again. Hubby and 3 year old ate it up. My two year old thought the meat made a good projectile.

This was great! I didn't "skewer" them, but served the beef with homemade fried rice. I let the meat marinade overnight. Great as leftovers too! I bet it would be great on chicken, shrimp or scallops!

I made this recipe tonight for 11 people and everyone loved it. It was very easy and had lots of flavor. My husband had a fantastic suggestion...thread the meat onto two skewers, instead of one, to prevent the meat from twisting around the skewer when turning.

Wow! This was just like they serve in the restaurants! Loved it. Here are my alterations. Didn't have any sherry, so substitued rice vinegar. Was wonderful! Used extra clove of garlic. Marinaded 4 hours and came out perfect- not too salty as some reviewers warned against. I also boiled the remaining marinade (boil at least 3-5 minutes), adding a little soy sauce. I used this sauce on jasmine rice with chopped green onions and it was the perfect match for the beef.
