Ingredients
- 500 g beef sirloin
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 60 g peanut butter
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin and slice it into thin strips, about 1 cm wide.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Whisk until smooth to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the beef strips to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with vegetable oil.
Step 6
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the skewers, distributing the meat evenly.
Step 7
Grill the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 8
Remove from the grill and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or a side salad.
