Honey Sriracha Beef Skewers
Beef skewers marinated in our easy honey, Sriracha, and soy marinade. I love these sweet and spicy skewers, especially when served as lettuce wraps. If we were stuck on an island and had to survive on just a few things, Sriracha would be on our list of necessities. We currently have not one, but two bottles in our home and use them in or on everything: soups, marinades, salad dressings, eggs, mixed into mayo, and lots more. Adapt this simple beef marinade for chicken, pork, or vegetables. We use equal parts of honey and Sriracha, which keeps the marinade a bit sticky. The honey caramelizes while the beef cooks. I love turning these marinated beef kabobs into lettuce wraps and adding sliced cucumber, fresh cilantro, and sour cream.
