Recipe video above. Meat on sticks is always a good thing, and Thai Beef Satay is one of the best! In this beef version of Thai Chicken Satay, a secret tenderising satay marinade makes economical steak astonishingly succulent. So good, you can eat it plain – but no one in their right mind would skip the Thai Peanut Sauce!Note: Baking soda tenderised beef needs to be thoroughly cooked to be tender. The beef is still a bit chewy if it's medium or less (because we're using economical beef).Top tip: Excellent to grill on the BBQ, or even better, over charcoal for a truly authentic Thai experience.Use leftover sauce for Thai Chicken Satay, Gado Gado (Indonesian Salad with Peanut Sauce) or just douse a bowl of plain rice. You can't go wrong!
View original recipe on recipetineats.comIf cooking on a BBQ or over charcoal, soak skewers for 2 hours in water so they don't burn.
Mix together the beef and Marinade in a bowl. Cover with cling wrap and marinate overnight (do not reduce marinating time else the beef may not tenderise enough).
Thread onto skewers - I do 4 pieces each.
Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a large non stick pan over medium high heat.
Cook 10 minutes (yes, well done!): Cook skewers in batches for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on all 4 sides until deep golden (total of 8 to 10 minutes) and fully cooked through. (Note: baking soda tenderised beef needs to be thoroughly cooked to be tender. The beef is still a bit chewy if it's medium or less.)
Rest: Transfer skewers to plate and rest for 3 minutes before serving with Peanut Sauce.
Place all Peanut Sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
Stir to combine then simmer, stirring every now and then, for 5 minutes. Adjust consistency with water - it should be a pourable but thickish sauce.
Remove from stove, cover with lid and keep warm while cooking skewers.
Pour sauce into a bowl. Sprinkle with some peanuts - stir some through if you want.
Pile satay skewers onto a platter, sprinkle with remaining peanuts, coriander and chilli.
Serve with sauce on the side for dipping. Add a side of Jasmine Rice or Thai Fried Rice or Pineapple Fried Rice to complete the meal!
