Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Plant-based beef strips
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves and everything is well blended.
Add the plant-based beef strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
While the beef strips are marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and chili flakes. Stir over low heat until smooth and warmed through. Add water as needed to achieve a slightly runny consistency. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated plant-based beef strips onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the beef strips are well browned and heated through.
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the skewers with peanut sauce and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
