Make these steak skewers…if anything, just for the sauce. The sauce is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We never make the recipe with as much meat as it calls for since it’s just Justin and I, so we always have tons of sauce left over. I’ve used it on everything from sandwiches to leftover chicken. If I had money to spare, I’d bottle this stuff up and sell it!
Steak Skewers with Cilantro-Garlic Sauce
Yield 12 skewers
Ingredients
- 7 cloves minced garlic

Instructions
- Set aside 1 teaspoon of the minced garlic.
- Place the steak strips in a plastic bag with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, the reserved teaspoon of minced garlic, and a generous grind of pepper. Seal and refrigerate for at least one hour.
