Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 12 pieces Wooden skewers
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 10 leaves Mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and freshly grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the beef strips in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a more intense flavor.

Step 4

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 5

Thread the marinated beef strips onto the skewers, allowing for slight gaps between slices for even cooking.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the beef skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, ensuring the beef is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

While the beef is cooking, thinly slice the cucumber and finely chop the mint leaves to prepare a simple side salad.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove beef satay sticks from the grill and allow them to rest for a minute.

Step 10

Serve the beef satay sticks warm, alongside the cucumber and mint salad, for a heart-healthy meal option.
