Method: Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour the marinade over the ground beef and mix until well blended. Cover with a cloth and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. To make a beef roll, place 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture onto a betel or grape leaf. Fold one end of the leaf over the filling, fold in the sides and roll up tightly, then thread the roll onto a bamboo skewer. Continue to make all the rolls in this manner, threading 3 rolls onto each bamboo skewer. Brush the rolls with a little oil and grill the skewers on a pan grill or under a preheated broiler using medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side, until the leaves are slightly charred. Serve the beef rolls with Vietnamese Dressing (Nuoc Cham). |
