Beef Satay with Peanut Sauce
Prep time 30 minutes
Cook time 10 minutes
What you’ll need:
1-1.5 lb flank steak (or more for a larger crowd)
2-4 T hoisin sauce (found in the Asian section of the grocery store)
1 t salt
Bamboo (or other) skewers
¾ c light coconut milk
3 T soy sauce
¼ c creamy peanut butter
1 T sugar
1 T lime juice
1 ½ t red curry paste (found in the Asian section of the grocery store)
What to do:
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in a pan of water for at least 15 minutes before use.
Cut the flank steak diagonally across the grain into ¼ inch thick slices. Combine the steak with the hoisin sauce in a medium bowl. Marinate in the fridge while the skewers soak.
Meanwhile, prepare the peanut sauce. Combine coconut milk through red curry paste in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Preheat the broiler. While broiler heats, thread the steak slices onto the skewers and sprinkle with salt. Place the skewers on a rack set in a baking sheet lined with foil.
Broil for 3-5 minutes on each side, to desired degree of doneness. Remove steak from skewers.
Serve over rice, and drizzled with peanut sauce.
Tips
One pound of flank steak will make about four servings. If you’re planning on more people, you’ll need to increase the amount of steak and hoisin sauce.
You can also use skirt steak or flat iron steak, instead of flank steak.
