Thai Beef Skewers
By Heartstone Farm Kitchen
We love grilling up skewers. It's a great way to feed a crowd and looks fantastic served up on a platter with whatever greens and vegetables are in season, and a side of hearty rice. It's one of our go-to's for the grill. We recommend Heartstone Farm's grass fed and finished Flat Iron Steak for this recipe because it is a great cut to marinate and has nice marbling that delivers on rich flavor. The flavors in the marinade - cumin, coriander, ginger, lemongrass - really complement the grassiness of the meat. Super delicious.
One important tip when on the steak: Don't forget to slice AGAINST the grain before skewering to ensure the most tender, juicy results.

Directions
Combine everything for the skewers, apart from the steak, in a food processor or blender. Blend on high until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor from time to time as needed. Thin out with a little hot water if the paste is too dry
Transfer the paste to a shallow casserole dish. Add steak strips to the paste, turning to coat. Cover and chill for 1 hour
Once chilled, remove the steak from the fridge and let stand at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. Get the grill going on medium-high temperature and prep the grates by brushing with oil
Thread steak onto skewers
Once grill is ready, add skewers and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning mid-way through, until lightly charred
