HOW TO MAKE BEEF SATAY

Steps:

• Place ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable oil, soy sauce, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl; whisk into a smooth marinade.
• Bruise lemon grass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.
• Cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. Thoroughly mix the beef into marinade until all beef strips are completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 the meat onto each metal skewer.
• Arrange skewers on the preheated grill and cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip skewers over onto other side and cook until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn onto first side again and cook until meat is still slightly pink, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.

GRILLED BEEF SATAY

Steps:

• Begin by soaking 10 wooden skewers in water for half an hour. This will prevent them from burning when cooking.
• Place the sliced steak in a large bowl with the oil, dark brown sugar and fish sauce. Mix together using your hands and massage the sauce into the steak for a minute. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 mins. (If you want to marinate for longer - i.e up to overnight, then place in the refrigerator).
• Whilst the meat is marinating, add all of the basting ingredients to a bowl and whisk together. Put to one side.
• Now place all of the satay sauce ingredients EXCEPT for the lime juice into a small pan.
• Heat over medium heat whilst stirring with a wooden spoon. The sauce will look thin at first, then as it comes close to boiling point, it will start to thicken. Don't let the sauce boil, just turn down the heat as it approaches boiling point and stir until thickened, then turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice.* Note 1
• Take the skewers out of the water and give them a shake to remove excess water, then thread the steak strips onto the skewers, and place the skewers on a plate. Brush with the basting sauce.
• Heat a griddle or barbecue very hot. Place the skewers on the griddle and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Turn a couple of times during cooking and baste generously each time you turn the skewers. Note: It will smoke a lot - so keep the windows open!!
• Place the skewers on plates, then reheat the satay sauce if you like it hot. Serve in a bowl alongside the skewers. Top with fresh coriander (cilantro) and a few slices of red chilli. If you like lots of toppings, you can also top with chilli flakes, a little red onion, a few chopped peanuts and some sesame seeds.
