1.5 lbs . skirt steak, cut against the grain into very thin strips (see photos and video)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon ginger paste

Steps

Soak your skewers – 15 minutes minimum for wood skewers and cut your beef into strips.
Mix the beef strips with the other beef ingredients. If you have time to marinate, go for it. A 30-45 minute marinating session is delicious! But I promise that if all you have is 5-10 minutes, they’ll still be great.
Thread the beef onto skewers – just scrunch it on there (see video). Place skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with freshly cracked black pepper.
Arrange an oven rack 4-6 inches below the heating element. Preheat the broiler on high heat for a few minutes. Broil the beef for 6 minutes – we’re going for caramelization on that top surface.(Alternative cooking methods in notes below)
Let the beef stand for a few minutes; brush the golden tops with the pan juices, and drizzle with a bit of lime juice and fish sauce. MAGIC WILL HAPPEN. Top with cilantro or chili crisp and serve with a cucumber salad (recipe in notes). Holy smokes! You can eat them plain, drizzled, or in a rice bowl. They are finger licking good. I have been known to eat them standing right over the stove.
