Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef sirloin
- 60 ml low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 120 ml coconut milk (light)
- 12 pieces skewers (if wooden, soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight to enhance flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush the grates with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the skewers, folding the meat back and forth in an S shape.
Grill the beef satay skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the light coconut milk over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.
Serve the beef satay hot with the warmed coconut milk as a dipping sauce, accompanied by fresh cucumber slices or a light salad for a balanced meal.
