Ingredients
- 450 grams lean beef sirloin
- 60 ml low-sodium soy sauce
- 15 ml fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 60 ml light coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter, preferably low-fat
- 60 ml water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 12 pieces wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide and 10 cm long.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, coriander powder, cumin powder, and chili flakes to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 5
For the satay sauce, in a small saucepan, combine light coconut milk, peanut butter, and water. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the peanut butter is fully incorporated. Add salt to taste.
Step 6
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked skewers.
Step 8
Grill the beef skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep the beef tender.
Step 9
Serve the beef satay hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
