Beef Satay
This substantial beef satay dish presents a larger, main-course variation of a delightful Thai starter. Thin beef strips are marinated in a blend of Asian spices, threaded onto skewers, and grilled to perfection, resulting in a remarkable fusion of flavors. As grilling season persists, discovering fresh and enticing ways to savor beef is always a welcome endeavor. Accompany it with my delectable peanut dipping sauce for an enhanced dining experience.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup fish sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 2-inch piece of fresh lemon grass (white part only)
- 2 pounds beef top sirloin, trimmed
- 4 12-inch-long metal skewers
Instructions
- Whisk together brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, onion, oil, soy sauce, coriander, ginger, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Bruise lemongrass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince lemongrass and add to marinade.
- Cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2-inches long and 1/8 inch-thick. Stir beef into marinade until beef is completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
- Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 of the meat onto each metal skewer. Discard remaining marinade.
- Arrange skewers on the preheated grill; cook until meat stops sticking to the grill, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip skewers and continue cooking until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Flip skewers once more; cook until meat is still slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer skewers to a platter; let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
