• 1 pound lean beef tenderloin , thinly sliced
• 2 bunches scallions , bottoms trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
• Wood or metal skewers
• 2 cups water or sake
• 4 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce
• Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Season beef with salt and pepper. Wrap a slice of beef around each 2-inch scallion section and push onto a skewer.

In a large pot with a steaming basket insert, bring water (or sake) to a boil. Place skewers in steaming basket and cover. Cook until meat is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, ginger, and chili sauce. Taste and adjust flavor to your preference.

Remove skewers from pot and place on a tray with sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve.
