1/2 c. lime juice
2 TBS. fresh ginger, grated
2 TBS. sugar
1 TBS. lime peel, grated

- Partially freeze tenderloin for ease of handling. Slice beef into thin slices (about 1/4-inch) then cut slices in half. Place beef strips in a glass dish.
- Mix beef broth and next five ingredients. Pour over beef strips. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours, turning beef frequently. Drain marinade; reserve.
- Thread beef strips on bamboo skewers that have been soaked 30 minutes in cold water. Broil 1 to 1-1/2 minutes per side. Remove to heated platter.
- In small skillet, reduce marinade by boiling until slightly thickened. Pour sauce over skewered beef and garnish with lime slices. Makes 48 appetizers.
Recipe Tips:
- Serve with small cocktail forks and plates or in a casual setting allow guests to eat off the skewers.
- A sirloin steak could be substituted for the tenderloin.
