Asian Beef with Cilantro Gremolata

This is a super easy dish and can be made with chicken or tofu. Gremolata is very similar to Chimichuri (substitute cilantro with basil and parsley) which is a marvelous South American topping served with beef.
1/4 C Low sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp Toasted sesame oil
1/4 C Orange juice
2 Tbs Ginger (fresh, finely chopped)
1/4 C Honey
3 Garlic cloves (finely chopped)
3 Tbs Scallions sliced
Fresh ground pepper
1 LB Top sirloin (Sliced into 1 inch chunks)
Bamboo skewers (soak in water for 2 hours)

Gremolata
2 Garlic cloves (crushed)
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp Crushed chili pepper
1/2 C Cilantro (chopped)
3 Tbs Olive oil
Combine all ingredients in food processor until coarsely ground.

Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, o.j., honey, ginger, scallions, and black pepper in large bowl.  Mix well until blended.
Reserve 1/4 C marinade.  Add beef to remaining marinade.  Marinated for 3 hours up to 24 hours in refrigerator.
Remove beef from marinade and place 3 chunks of beef on skewers.  Grill beef 1-2 minutes on each side, until medium rare, blast with remaining marinade while grilling.



Let meat rest for 1 minute, sprinkle with scallions and serve with Gremolata on side.
