Indonesian Beef Satay (Sate Daging)

This is a cheater version aka using peanut butter instead fresh fried peanuts :)

Step 1: Skewers

If you are using bamboo skewers for your satay, do soak them totally wet for at least 30 minutes, longer is better

Step 2: Satay

800 g beef cubes

50 ml coconut milk (I love Toscana brand, their quality is good)

5 tbsp coconut milk

Spice Paste:

1 tsp cayenne powder mixed with 1 tsp paprika powder

1 tbsp sugar

1 large onion

a pinch or two salt

1 tbsp coriander seeds and 1 tsp cumin (dry fry until fragrant - frying without oil/grease)

Process spice paste ingredients using food processor/mortar and pestle until smooth

Mix spice paste with beef cubes and 50 ml coconut milk

Chill in the fridge for at least 2 h

Take out from fridge, mix in the 5 tbsp coconut milk, then thread cubes in skewers

Grill/broil satay until cooked (under broiler in oven would take about 30 minutes, turning once or twice)

Serve with peanut sauce and warm rice

Step 3: Peanut Sauce

Peanut Sauce (bring to boil, stirring continuously until thicken):
5 tbsp peanut butter, smooth

200 ml coconut milk

1 tbsp minced garlic (store bought)

2 tbsp ketchup

1 tbsp Sriracha sauce

1 tbsp sugar

salt to taste

Serving Suggestion:

Lime/lemon wedges or bottled lime/lemon juice

Spicy sweet soy sauce (a mixture of sweet soy sauce with sliced fresh bird eye chilies and shallots --> about 8 bird eye chilies, 5 shallots and 5 tbsp sweet soy sauce, Indonesian brand preferably called ABC, available at Asian stores)

Enjoy :)
