Whether you are having a party or cooking at home, this flavorful beef dish makes a terrific appetizer or entre. Serve the skewers and rice with sauted vegetables as an entre or offer the beef skewers with a peanut dipping sauce as an hors d'oeuvre.

Trim excess fat from the meat and cut the meat into 1/4-inch thick strips. Add the meat to the marinade and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. When ready to cook, drain the meat from the marinade, reserving the teriyaki sauce, and lace the meat strips accordion-style onto skewers. For medium-rare, grill or broil the skewers about 5 minutes, turning frequently. Before serving, place the reserved marinade in a saucepot and bring it to a full boil. Allow the sauce to cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened. (Makes: About 50 Skewers) Preparation For Coconut Rice: In a large pot, bring the coconut milk, water and salt to a boil.

Before serving, stir in the cilantro and top the rice with the toasted coconut. (Makes: 20 Servings) Note: When cooking for a crowd, plan accordingly! Some kitchen work can be done ahead of time, such as pre-cooking beans, veggies or meats for soups and stews. Remember that not all recipes double or triple according to your calculator. When it comes to dried spices, no matter how large you are making the recipe, start by just doubling the amount, then adding more seasonings as needed. Too much spice can ruin recipe results! When cooking with wooden skewers, remember to soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to keep the skewers from burning on the grill or under the broiler.
