Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 4 tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 10 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef into thin strips, approximately 2 cm wide and 1/2 cm thick, and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Reserve 1/3 of the marinade for basting and dipping later, and pour the remaining marinade over the beef. Ensure the beef is well coated, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 4

Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat, or preheat a grill to medium heat.

Step 6

Cook the skewered beef for 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade, until the beef is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the heat and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 8

Serve warm with the remaining satay sauce for dipping, alongside steamed rice or a fresh cucumber salad.
