Slice your meat against the grain into bite-sized pieces, roughly ½ inch thick by 1-2 inches long. Place in a sealed plastic bag.

In food processor place all ingredients for the marinade and blend until smooth. Pour into plastic bag with meat and marinade overnight in refrigerator. Marinade Ingredients: 6 cloves garlic, 2 Tbsp cilantro, 1/2 tsp ground white pepper, 2 Tbsp light brown sugar, 2 Tbsp oyster sauce, 2 Tbsp fish sauce, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp cornstarch.

For the Dipping Sauce (Nam Jim Jaew): Mix all ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved. Place in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Dipping Sauce Ingredients: 2 Tbsp fish sauce, 2 tsp light brown sugar, 1 tsp red chili flakes, 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro leaves, 1 diced shallot, 1 juiced lime, 1 Tbsp soy sauce.

To Grill Meat: Soak your bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes before threading the meat on them.

Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat.

Remove the meat from the refrigerator and thread the pieces onto the soaked skewers. Press the pieces of meat together tightly to form a fairly compact and uniformly shaped piece of meat on the skewer.

Place the meat on the grill and brush with some coconut milk. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip the skewers and brush again with coconut milk.

Continue cooking over medium heat until internal temp of 145F is reached, let rest 3 minutes and serve.
