Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 200 grams Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the satay sauce. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili flakes.
Stir the sauce continuously until it is smooth and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust the seasoning by adding more lime juice or fish sauce, if desired.
Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a large skillet. Pour the satay sauce over the meatballs and gently toss them to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish the meatballs with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the satay meatballs on their own as an appetizer, or pair them with steamed rice or noodles for a main dish.
