Beef and lemongrass kebabs
Lemongrass and minced beef create a great flavour combination in these simple, fast kebabs. You'll probably find that you have most of the other ingredients at hand. If the weather doesn't play fair - cook them under the grill.

Made a lot of changes. First we didn't grill them. It was a freaking 13 below outside. I fried them until they were brown on the outside and then tossed them into the crockpot with the Rice Vinegar Basting Sauce recipe from this website. I also used dried lemon grass, since fresh is never available to me. (If anyone has a better way to reconstitute lemon grass so it isn't woody, I'd love to hear it.) I served this as an appetizer to dinner guests and they loved it. - 15 Feb 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This recipe is wonderful. Added soya sauce instead of salt like other users ... had no cornstarch so I added 2 tsp. rice flour ... some fresh thyme and basil from my garden. Then I refrigerated them for 2 hours. They stayed together very well and tasted delicious. Thanx for sharing bbqgirl! - 03 Aug 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I added fresh ginger and substituted soy sauce for the salt. The substitution was a mistake and made the meatballs too moist. Other than that, they tasted great. The flavors work really well together. I wanted a sauce to make them a little juicier, but everyone else in my family liked them as they were. - 10 Mar 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
