Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef sirloin
- 60 ml low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 120 ml coconut milk (light)
- 12 pieces skewers (if wooden, soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Mix well to form the marinade.
Step 3
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight to enhance flavor.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush the grates with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the skewers, folding the meat back and forth in an S shape.
Step 6
Grill the beef satay skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Step 7
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the light coconut milk over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Serve the beef satay hot with the warmed coconut milk as a dipping sauce, accompanied by fresh cucumber slices or a light salad for a balanced meal.
