2 tbsp (30 mL) soy sauce

2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice

1 tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent charring. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and chili pepper. Whisk in 2 tbsp (30 mL) water until smooth.
Stir in beef strips until coated. Let stand at room temperature for up to 15 minutes.
Thread strips loosely onto twenty-four soaked wooden skewers. Broil or grill for 3 to 4 minutes each side.
