I love grilled food, yet am terrified of the grill. I had a mishap in my teens where I made a very bad choice to start the gas before the grill and I have never really recovered from that particular explosion. Lucky for me, my husband loves to grill. These Asian Beef Skewers taste best on the grill, although you could probably do them under the broiler in the oven if you watched them very carefully. On the grill they are ready in less than 10 minutes so that is the way that we always enjoy them.
The first step of the recipe is to cut the beef lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick strips. These will go into the marinade that you are about to create. How many you get will depend on the thickness of your cut of meat. Set the meat strips aside for now.
In a large bowl combine 1/2 cup Asian salad dressing, brown sugar, ginger and parsley. Stir until well combined. I prefer to use the Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame salad dressing because it is thick, flavorful and easily available but any Asian salad dressing may be substituted.
Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. You’ll need as many skewers as you have strips of beef.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine peanut butter, remaining 1/4 cup Asian salad dressing and curry powder to create dipping sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Remove meat from marinade and thread onto skewers. Discard remaining marinade.
Grill until done, anywhere from 3-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Remove from skewers and serve immediately with peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
