Finely chop lemongrass, garlic, and shallots, then add to the beef.

Pour in soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and vegetable oil.

Mix thoroughly to coat the beef, then marinate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated beef onto the soaked skewers.

Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Serve with lime wedges and peanut sauce for dipping.
