Teriyaki Meat Sticks

I came up with this one after a neighbor gave us a pack of pepper crusted round steaks. We gave them a big plate of ribs, and they turned around and gave us these because they had planned to have them for dinner, but ate our ribs instead. So, I had these round steaks which are notoriously dry and tough if done wrong. So what to do?

I came up with this. Grind them up, add some fat (bacon) to keep them from drying out, and then make them fun….put them on a stick with lots of flavor before grilling.

Teriyaki Meat Sticks

Ingredients

3-4 Beef Round Steaks
6-8 thick slices of Bacon
1/2 small medium onion
1 Tbsp minced Garlic
1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Honey
Cracked Black Pepper
Salt

Wooden Bamboo Skewers
Soy Sauce (at the serving table - optional)

Procedure

Cut the round steaks into 3/4” cubes. Cut the bacon into slices. In a food processor, add all ingredients. Pulse 3-4 times for 5-6 seconds until meat mixture is finely ground and mixed well.

Move mixture to a bowl. Now grab a small handful and shape it into a log around and lengthwise on a skewer. Keep doing this until all the meat has been used. Now grill the skewers for 6 minutes per side (12 minutes total). Remove and plate.

We plated with Udon noodles with a Red Vinegar Vinaigrette, and fried rice. We piled the fried rice into a small bowl and packed it tight, then inverted the bowl on the plate so that we had a nice dome of fried rice. Around the rice went the Udon noodles with vinaigrette, and then a fried egg topped the rice. It’s a great plate to just dig into with your better half. Good date plate.

We had a few skewers left over and gave them to the neighbor that gave us the steak. They were floored and couldn’t believe what we had come up with. They loved the flavor and texture and ask for more. I imagine I’ll be cooking for them in the future. :pat: :lol:

Brilliant idea on the skewers, Keltin!

I never would have thought to pair rice with noodles, and wouldn't have thought about topping the rice with an egg.

It all looks like it came together and the plating is beautiful!

Thanks guys. The noodles with rice was a risky move as those are both strong starches….but DW loves tons of sides so……:lol:

It actually worked because we used soy on the rice (dark and salty) and the noodles had a clingy vinaigrette (light and acidic). Very nice combo.

The egg just made sense at the end since we love egg in our fried rice. Having the fried egg and the runny yolk there for dipping……it was a really nice addition/topping for the fried rice. I’ll definitely do that again. It may not be for everybody, but we love a runny yolk……where’s my toast??? :yum:
 
Way cool! And beautiful presentation, too! It never occurred to me that you could use a FP to grind up meat like that (even though I have made ham salad in mine), can you make your own hamburger using the FP too?

I’m a bit embarrassed to say, but I just recently got a full blown (big motor) Food Processor. I used a small Black and Decker mini-chopper for a while, but finally, a few months ago, broke down and got a big one.

It’s actually amazing. That chopper blade can easily chop and grind whole meat into loose meat for forming into anything you like. Skewers, burgers, anything.

I did this with a sirloin steak and turned that whole piece of meat into a burger. I’m loving what the FP can do!

Cool, I have a 14 cup Kitchen Aid, wonder why this didn't occur to me sooner?! And that is exactly what I was thinking of, sirloin burgers! Thanks for the link!

Excellent! Try it out, but remember that sirloin can be dry, so add some fat to it when you grind. Bacon is good!! :clap
