BBQ recipe - Beef satay
This traditional satay sees a deliciously satisfying, hot nutty sauce provide the perfect compliment to a threaded kebab of tender beef.
Ingredients
-
1-1/2 pounds top round or beef tenderloin
-
1 green onion, finely chopped
-
1/3 cup ketchup
-
1/4 cup light soy sauce
-
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
-
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
-
1 tablespoon peanut oil
-
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Method:
-
In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients (except the beef and peanut butter) with a quarter cup of water.
-
Now cut the beef into cubes, and place them in a large sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade mix into the bag, ensuring the beef is well covered. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
-
Remove the meat from the bag, reserving the marinade. Thread the meat carefully onto skewers, and allow to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.
-
Grill the kebabs over direct heat, at high temperature, for 3 to 5 minutes (medium rare, a little longer if you prefer well-done), turning once halfway through grilling time.
-
Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, and boil for one full minute. Add the peanut butter, return to a boil, and whisk until the sauce thickens. Serve warm with the beef skewers.
