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).
