Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 250 grams ground pork
• 80 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 120 grams peanut butter
• 250 milliliters coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon chili paste
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 2

Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. You should end up with about 20-24 meatballs.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili paste. Stir well to create a smooth sauce.

Step 5

Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, then add the meatballs back into the pan, coating them evenly with the sauce. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure the meatballs are fully cooked through and infused with the sauce.

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.

Step 7

Serve the Sate Meatballs warm, with rice, noodles, or as an appetizer with skewers.
