How to cook
Step 1
  • Soak 20-30 bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour. This will allow the skewers to withstand the heat from grilling.
Step 2
  • Blend all items for the marinade and mix in the beef cubes to marinate for at least 6 hours, or best overnight.
Step 3
  • Blend all ingredients needed for spice paste and stir-fry on a non-stick frying pan until fragrant and the oil slightly separate from the paste. Add in tamarind juice, peanuts and water, mix well and bring it to a quick boil before turning the heat low to simmer for another 5-10mins. Season with sugar and salt for taste and set aside.
Step 4
  • Thread 4-6 pieces of the beef onto the bamboo skewers and 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.
Step 5
  • Once the beef satay is cooked, serve it with the peanut sauce, raw red onions, cucumber and ketupat.
