Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the marinadeIn a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, minced lemongrass, garlic, ground coriander, turmeric, brown sugar, ground cumin, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth paste.
-
Marinate the meatAdd the cubed meat to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
-
Prepare the peanut sauceIn a saucepan over medium heat, combine the ground peanuts, tamarind paste or lime juice, palm sugar, sambal oelek, and coconut milk. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to reach desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Skewer the meatThread the marinated meat onto the pre-soaked bamboo skewers, using 4-5 pieces per skewer. Leave a small space at the bottom of each skewer to use as a handle.
-
Grill the satayPreheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the meat is fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges. Baste with any remaining marinade while grilling for extra flavor.
-
Serve with peanut sauceArrange the grilled satay skewers on a serving platter and serve hot with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with sliced cucumber, red onions, and fresh cilantro if desired.
