Coconut Beef Satay with Peanut Sauce

🧂 Ingredients

• 1½ pounds beef flank or top sirloin steak,

  1” to 1½” thick, and very cold
• ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons prepared Thai green curry paste

  (I like Thai Kitchen brand)
• 3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper,

  to taste
• fresh lime wedges,

  for squeezing over the satays before eating
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter

  (such as Jif)
• ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili garlic paste

  (add more if you like it spicy)
• 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
• 2 large cloves garlic,

  finely minced
• finely chopped peanuts,

  for garnish

Instructions

• 1 Note: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before
  adding the beef. The beef should be sliced very thinly – it helps to place it in
  the freezer for about 30 minutes prior to slicing.
• 2 Slice the beef against the grain into very thin strips.
• 3 In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, green curry paste, brown
  sugar, fish sauce, cumin, and turmeric. Add the beef strips and mix to coat
  evenly. Cover and place in refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour or overnight.
• 4 Thread beef strips onto skewers, winding back and forth in an S shape (should
  look similar to old-fashioned ribbon candy). Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• 5 Heat grill to high. Make sure the grates are clean, then oil the grates. Grill
  the skewers, turning after the steak shows nice char marks. The thin slices of
  beef will not take long to cook, about 3 to 5 minutes total. Take care to not
  overcook.
• 6 Transfer skewers to a serving platter and serve with peanut sauce.
• 7 In a small bowl, stir together all ingredients. If you prefer a totally smooth
  sauce, use an immersion blender to blend everything together. This can be made a
  day in advance – just store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until
  ready to use. Add a sprinkle of chopped peanuts over the sauce right before
  serving.
