Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Skewers
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the beef sirloin. Slice the beef thinly against the grain, about 1/4 inch thick. This helps to ensure tenderness in the final dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- While the beef is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, and lime juice. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
- After the beef has marinated, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Thread the marinated beef slices onto the skewers, ensuring they are packed closely together but not overcrowded. This will help them cook evenly.
- Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Aim for a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- Serve the grilled beef satay hot, accompanied by the peanut sauce for dipping. You can also garnish with lime wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Grilled Beef Satay with Peanut Sauce!
Tips
- Choose the Right Cut: For the best results, use beef sirloin as it is tender and flavorful. Make sure to slice it against the grain to enhance its tenderness.
- Marinate for Flavor: Allow the beef to marinate for at least 15 minutes, but for even deeper flavor, consider marinating it for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Soak Skewers: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Preheat Your Grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before adding the skewers. This helps achieve that perfect char and keeps the meat juicy.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Skewers: When threading the beef onto the skewers, leave a little space between each piece. This allows for even cooking and better charring.
- Rest the Meat: After grilling, let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is succulent.
- Customize Your Sauce: Feel free to adjust the peanut sauce by adding a touch of sriracha for heat or a dash of honey for extra sweetness to suit your taste.
- Garnish for Presentation: Serve your satay with lime wedges and fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for a beautiful presentation and an extra burst of flavor.With these tips, you'll be well on your way to mastering this delectable dish that will impress family and friends alike!
