2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha chilli sauce
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
800 grams rump or sirloin steaks, fat trimmed and cut 2cm pieces

METHOD

Combine all the ingredients except the steak, in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the meat and turn to coat well and marinate for 1 hour. Thread the meat on to skewers.

Tip the marinade left in the bowl into a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes until reduced and syrupy. Set aside.

Cook the kebabs on a lightly greased preheated grill pan or barbecue for 2 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking.
