Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.33 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp ground turmeric
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 0.33 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 8 skewers
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick and 3 to 4 inches long.
In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1 garlic clove (minced).
Add the pork strips to the marinade and mix to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
While the pork marinates, prepare the peanut lime dipping sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 garlic clove (minced), 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork strips onto the skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Grill the pork skewers for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve the pork satay hot with the peanut lime dipping sauce on the side.
