Ingredients

  • 800g quick-cooking steak – bavette (flank), skirt or hanger (onglet) is ideal
  • Bunch spring onions, cut into 3-4cm lengths
  • 50g fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½-1 tsp chinese five-spice (to taste; it’s quite a strong spice blend)

For the chilli peanut oil

  • 250ml vegetable oil
  • 50g salted peanuts, chopped
  • 50g dried chilli flakes
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 banana shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp sea salt flakes

  • 8 metal skewers

Method

  1. Put the steak on a board and use a large sharp knife to cut into 1cm strips, making sure you cut it across the grain. Put in a bowl and add the spring onions, ginger, soy sauce, five-spice and a good grind of black pepper. Toss to mix, then cover and refrigerate for 24-48 hours – longer is better here.
  2. Make the chilli oil at the same time (see Genevieve’s know-how). Pour the oil into a small heavy-based saucepan and set over a low heat on the hob. Add the peanuts, chilli flakes, garlic, shallots and salt, then simmer really gently for a good 30 minutes until the chilli is crisp and the peanuts, garlic and shallot are golden. Leave to cool in the pan before transferring to a screw-top jar or a bowl with a lid. Once cold, store in the fridge where it will keep for a good month, although I guarantee it won’t last that long.
  3. When ready to cook, thread the meat onto the skewers, ribboning the slices a few times on the sticks and alternating with lengths of spring onion.
  4. Fire up the barbecue ready for direct grilling – the skewers cook quickly, so you shouldn’t need to use too much charcoal. Sear the skewers over a high direct heat for 5-7 minutes, turning regularly. Serve straightaway with the crispy chilli oil alongside.

  1. Genevieve’s expert know-how:  “I love using bavette (also known as flank) steak for kebabs: sliced across the grain and put onto sticks, it cooks quickly and stays tender. You could use hanger (onglet) too. It also stands up to a long marinade for maximum flavour – up to 48 hours – and the chilli oil gets better after a  couple of days, so start early if you can. Served with rice and grilled broccoli, these steak skewers are insanely good – and fast.”
