Beef Satay With A Peanut Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable oil, soy sauce, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl; whisk into a smooth marinade.
• Bruise lemon grass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.
• Cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. Thoroughly mix the beef into marinade until all beef strips are completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 the meat onto each metal skewer.
• Arrange skewers on the preheated grill and cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip skewers over onto other side and cook until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn onto first side again and cook until meat is still slightly pink, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine 2/3 of the garlic with 1/4 cup soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, cumin, and red-pepper flakes. Thread 2 pieces of beef onto each of 16 skewers; arrange in a shallow dish. Pour marinade over beef; refrigerate covered 45 minutes or preferable overnight, turning once.
• Meanwhile make dipping sauce: Heat canola oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining garlic; cook, stirring, until soft, 3 minutes. Add broth and 1/4 cup water; bring to boil. Remove from heat; whisk in peanut butter, ketchup, vinegar, and remaining teaspoon soy sauce. Let cool completely.
• Heat a grill to high. Season beef with salt and pepper. Remove skewers from marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard marinade. Grill beef 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium. Serve hot with dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Place peanut butter in a mixing bowl. Whisk garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil into peanut butter, followed by lime juice and chile-garlic sauce.
• Bring coconut milk to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat; pour over into peanut butter mixture. Whisk until smooth.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped red pepper, cilantro, and peanuts.
