Indonesian Beef Sate Recipes

Steps:

• For Marinade.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onion,garlic and ginger and saute until onion is soft.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir to make smooth paste.
• Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
• Add meat, stirring to coat well.
• Remove from heat and let stand until room temperature.
• Thread meat onto skewers, weaving strips in and out to pack tightly.
• Prepare hibachi or grill or preheat broiler.
• Cook meat 3 to 4 inches from heat source, basting once with any remaining marinade, until crisp and browned, about 3 minutes on each side.

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 large bowl, combine all the ingredients, mixing well. Set aside at room temperature to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler or a grill. Slide the beef cubes onto the skewers, using 4 to 5 cubes per skewer. Press the beef into the marinade to get as much of the coconut as possible to cling to the meat. Grill, turning once, until browned and cooked to the desired doneness, 3 to 6 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients and purée in blender or food processor.
• Allow beef to marinate in this mixture for at least 2 hours.
• Skewer beef and broil over hot coals, turning frequently for 5-7 minutes or bake on a foil lined baking sheet in preheated 325°F oven.
• Mix together sauce ingredients, and serve skewers with dipping sauce and rice.
