Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.33 cup coconut milk
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 0.5 tsp ground turmeric
• 0.5 tsp ground coriander
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 0.33 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 8 skewers

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick and 3 to 4 inches long.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1 garlic clove (minced).

Step 3

Add the pork strips to the marinade and mix to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

Step 4

While the pork marinates, prepare the peanut lime dipping sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 garlic clove (minced), 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 6

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated pork strips onto the skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

Step 8

Grill the pork skewers for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the pork satay hot with the peanut lime dipping sauce on the side.
