Indonesian Beef Satay

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ½ cup coconut milk
• 1 lime
• 1 cucumber
• 1 onion

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the 1 lb beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp brown sugar, then toss the beef in the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup coconut milk, remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, and remaining 1 tbsp brown sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring, until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add a squeeze of lime juice if desired.

3. 3

   Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, dividing evenly. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes first to prevent burning.

4. 4

   Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through, with a slight char. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.

5. 5

   While the beef cooks, slice the 1 cucumber and 1 onion into thin rounds. Cut the 1 lime into wedges.

6. 6

   Serve the hot satay skewers with the peanut sauce on the side, garnished with the cucumber, onion, and lime wedges. Squeeze lime over the skewers just before eating.
