Ingredients:
1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Crushed peanuts, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving
Marinade Preparation:
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, red curry paste, ground coriander, and turmeric powder until well combined.
Place the thinly sliced beef in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all slices are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Grilling Instructions:
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef slices onto the soaked wooden skewers, making sure to leave some space between each piece.
Grill the beef skewers for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the Grilled Thai Beef Satays with fresh cilantro leaves and crushed peanuts.
Serve the satays with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing of citrusy flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
Create a dipping sauce by combining equal parts creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add a dash of chili flakes for an extra kick.
Serve the Grilled Thai Beef Satays with a side of fluffy jasmine rice or a refreshing cucumber salad to balance the flavors.
Pair your movie night snack with a cool and tropical beverage like a Thai iced tea or a refreshing coconut water with lime.
