Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and freshly grated ginger to create the marinade.
Place the beef strips in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the skewers, allowing for slight gaps between slices for even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the beef skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, ensuring the beef is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
While the beef is cooking, thinly slice the cucumber and finely chop the mint leaves to prepare a simple side salad.
Once cooked, remove beef satay sticks from the grill and allow them to rest for a minute.
Serve the beef satay sticks warm, alongside the cucumber and mint salad, for a heart-healthy meal option.
