Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast (or beef sirloin), cut into thin strips
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 120 milliliters Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 10 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling)
• 100 grams Creamy peanut butter (for the sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (for the sauce)
• 60 milliliters Coconut milk (for the sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar (for the sauce)
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional, for the sauce)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, turmeric, cumin, garlic, ginger, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken or beef strips to the marinade and mix thoroughly to coat. Cover the bowl and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for best flavor).

Step 3

While the meat is marinating, prepare the peanut dipping sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, and chili flakes (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken or beef strips onto soaked wooden skewers.

Step 5

Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred around the edges.

Step 6

Serve the satay skewers hot with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh lime wedges or chopped cilantro, if desired.
