How to cook
Prepare the skewers
- Soak 20-30 bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour - this will allow the skewers to withstand the heat from grilling.
Marinate the beef
- Blend the shallot, garlic, lemongrass, chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, sugar, salt and oil together.
- Mix in the beef cubes to marinate for at least 6 hours - overnight would be the best.
Prepare the peanut sauce
- Blend the galangal, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, chilli powder, coriander powder, water, cumin powder, sugar, salt and oil together to form the peanut sauce spice blend.
- Stir-fry the spice blend in a non-stick frying pan until fragrant and the oil is slightly separated from the paste.
- Mix in the tamarind juice, peanuts and water to create the peanut sauce.
- Bring the peanut sauce mixture to a quick boil before turning the heat to low, then simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
- Season with sugar and salt to taste and set aside.
Start cooking
- Thread 4-6 pieces of the beef onto the bamboo skewers.
- Grill the beef satay skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the meat is fully cooked and the surface is nicely charred on both sides.
- Baste and brush with some oil while grilling.
- Once the beef satay is cooked, serve it with the peanut sauce, raw red onions, cucumber and ketupat (optional).
