What is it about eating meat off a stick that makes dinner much more fun? Perhaps it brings back memories of summer nights strolling through the fair. Or backyard summer potlucks with a kebab loaded BBQ. Whatever it is, meat on a stick is always a family favorite around here.

I’ve shared a couple of skewer recipes on the blog throughout the years: Chimichurri Salmon Skewers and Sriracha Beef Skewers. Today I am adding Hoisin Marinated Beef Skewers to the mix.

Hoisin Marinated Beef Skewers are really easy to make. For the beef skewers you need two ingredients. For the peanut sauce you’ll need only four. It doesn’t get much easier than that!  The toughest part about making these skewers is getting the meat cut into 1/4 inch strips before threading it onto the skewer. My favorite kitchen tip to help do this is to freeze the meat for a couple of hours. Slightly frozen beef is much easier to slice thin.

The beef skewers are good on their own, but every good beef skewer is even better when it has a dipping sauce to go with it. As good as these Hoisin Marinated Skewers are, the Creamy Peanut Sauce might just be my favorite part. It’s nutty, sweet and has a little heat thanks to some crushed red pepper.

Unlike most skewers, you don’t a grill for this recipe. Instead, these Hoisin Marinated Beef Skewers need just a few minutes under the broiler. This means that you can still enjoy this beefy goodness without having to break out the BBQ.
