Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter, unsweetened
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thickness and 2-3 inches long. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, coconut milk, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
While the beef marinates, prepare the satay sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, warm water, rice vinegar, honey, and chili flakes (if using). Stir until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary. Set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, folding or weaving them as needed to fit.
Grill the beef skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Arrange the beef satay skewers on a platter. Sprinkled with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve with the peanut satay sauce on the side and lime wedges.
