BEEF SATAY WITH THAI PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• If cooking on a BBQ or over charcoal, soak skewers for 2 hours in water so they don't burn.

BEEF SATAY

Steps:

• Slice the beef against the grain into 1/2-inch wide strips and place into a large resealable bag. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oil, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Pour the marinade into the bag over the beef. Seal the bag and toss to coat completely. Place the bag into a large bowl and put into the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight.
• To serve: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread 24 of the beef strips onto the skewers. Oil the grill gates and place the beef on the grill. If desired, reserve the remaining beef strips and marinade for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry. Cook the skewers 2 to 3 minute per side. Remove from the heat, place on a serving platter and sprinkle with the scallions. Serve immediately.

BEEF SATAY

Steps:

• Cut flank steak in half lengthwise and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Combine soy sauce and all other ingredients in a measuring cup, set aside.
• Remove flank steak from the freezer and slice each piece across the grain into 1/4 inch thick strips.
• Weave meat onto individual bamboo skewers.
• Dunk meat end of each skewer in the marinade to coat.
• Lay the skewers in a shallow dish, propping up the exposed ends of the skewers to keep them clean.
• Pour the remaining marinade over the meat.
• Refrigerate for EXACTLY one hour (any more and the meat will start to get mushy.).
• Adjust an oven rack to the top position and heat the broiler.
• Lay the skewers in a single layer on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and cover the skewer ends with foil. (May have to broil 2 different sets.).
• Broil 6-7 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through, until meat is browned.
• Serve immediately.

HOW TO MAKE BEEF SATAY

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.

THAI SATAY STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Mix the peanut butter, chilli sauce, 100ml water and soy sauce to make a smooth satay sauce. Put the noodles in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Stir gently to separate, then drain thoroughly.
• Heat the oil in a wok, then stir-fry the ginger and harder pieces of veg from the stir-fry mix, such as peppers, for 2 mins. Add the noodles and rest of the veg, then stir-fry over a high heat for 1-2 mins until the veg are just cooked.
• Push the veg to one side of the pan, then pour the peanut sauce into the other side, tilting the pan. Bring to the boil. Mix the sauce with the stir-fry, then sprinkle over the basil leaves and peanuts to serve.

• Remove steak from freezer and slice thinly across the grain. Place steak in a large bowl, pour marinade over steak, and toss to coat. Cover bowl and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line bottom of a broiler pan with foil.
• Lay steak slices in a single layer on the rack of the prepared broiler pan.
• Cook in the preheated broiler, brushing occasionally with marinade, until steak reaches desired doneness, 1 to 2 minutes for medium rare.

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a shallow pan or bowl. Add beef and marinate, in the refrigerator, for 1 to 3 hours. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Skewer the meat and then grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness. Serve with peanut sauce.
• Heat peanut oil in a saute pan over low heat. Add garlic and "sweat" (cook until it softens and releases moisture but does not color) over low heat until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Add the chile peppers and continue to cook for another minute. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Adjust the consistency with additional water, if necessary.

BEEF SATAY

Steps:

• Put 30 to 36 wooden skewers in a bowl or other container and add cold water to cover. Let soak an hour or longer.
• Preheat charcoal grill or kitchen broiler.
• Slice beef with the grain into slices about 1/8 inch thick. Cut slices into pieces about 1-inch square. There should be about 3 cups loosely packed. Put pieces in a bowl.
• Sprinkle beef with coriander, cumin, fennel, pepper and turmeric. Set aside.
• Put pieces of lemon grass or lemon grass powder, shallots, garlic and water in the container of an electric blender and blend thoroughly.
• Pour and scrape this mixture over the beef and mix with the fingers. Add sugar, salt and Worcestershire sauce and blend. Set aside for one hour.
• Drain skewers and thread 4 to 6 pieces of beef, arranging them quite close together, on each skewer.
• Blend the oil and coconut cream or milk.
• Arrange skewered meats on charcoal grill or under broiler. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, depending on whether meat is to be medium cooked or well done. Turn skewers so that pieces cook evenly. As meat cooks brush generously with oil-coconut mixture. Serve with satay sauce as a dip. Serve neatly trimmed pieces of raw onion and cucumber as accompaniment.
