Lemongrass Beef Recipe

Make the marinade: Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until well combined. Transfer to a bowl. Add beef, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Make the tamarind dressing: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer until thick, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

Scrape off excess marinade on beef and skewer meat onto lemongrass stalks. Grill on a preheated grill or grill pan until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Arrange grilled beef on a plate and drizzle with more dressing if desired. Sprinkle with crispy shallots, peanuts, and cilantro leaves.
