1 pound flank steak, trimmed2 tablespoons soy sauce2 tablespoons vegetable oil2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro2 scallions, sliced thin1½ tablespoons ketchup1 garlic clove, minced½ teaspoon sriracha

¼ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)2 tablespoons hot water, plus extra as needed1½ tablespoons lime juice1 scallion, sliced thin1 tablespoon ketchup1½ teaspoons soy sauce1½ teaspoons packed dark brown sugar1½ teaspoons minced fresh cilantro¾ teaspoon sriracha1 garlic clove, minced

Before You Begin

Covering the exposed ends of the skewers with a strip of aluminum foil protected them from burning. To make the steak easier to slice, freeze it for 15 minutes. You will need twenty 6-inch wooden skewers.

Instructions

for the skewers

Slice beef against grain ¼ inch thick (you should have at least 20 slices).

Combine soy sauce, oil, sugar, cilantro, scallions, ketchup, garlic, and sriracha in medium bowl; add beef; and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Weave 1 beef slice evenly onto each skewer, leaving at least 1 inch at bottom of skewer exposed (Skewers can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)

for the spicy peanut dipping sauce

Whisk peanut butter and hot water together in medium bowl. Stir in lime juice, scallion, ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, cilantro, sriracha, and garlic. Adjust consistency with extra hot water as needed; set aside for serving.

Adjust toaster oven rack to middle position, select broiler function, and heat broiler. Set small wire rack in aluminum foil–lined small rimmed baking sheet and spray rack with vegetable oil spray. Arrange skewers in two rows across width of prepared rack with all exposed skewer ends facing center of rack. Cover skewer ends in center of sheet with strip of foil and secure by crimping tightly at edges. Broil skewers until beef is no longer pink on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip skewers and continue to broil until beef is fully cooked and spotty brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve with peanut sauce.
