How to Make Beef Or Chicken Satay With Peanut Sauce
- **Prepare the Meat:** Trim 1.5 lbs of beef sirloin or 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut into long, thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).
- **Marinate the Meat:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add the meat strips, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 12 hours).
- **Prepare the Skewers:** Soak 20-24 bamboo skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- **Assemble the Satays:** Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
- **Optional: Return to Marinade:** You can place the skewered meat back in the marinade to keep them moist while preparing the sauce.
- **Grill the Satays:** Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Grill the satays for about 1 minute per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. (Adjust cook time according to your grill and desired doneness).
- **Make the Peanut Sauce:** In a food processor, combine 1 cup roasted peanuts, 1/2 cup warm water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1-2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (or more to taste). Process until smooth and creamy.
- **Rest the Sauce:** Cover the peanut sauce and let it sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before serving. Stir well before serving.
- **Serve:** Serve the grilled satays immediately with the spicy peanut sauce.
