Ingredients
- Beef sirloin, sliced700 g
- Minced lemongrass2 stalks
- Turmeric powder1 tsp
- Honey2 tbsp
- Soy sauce2 tbsp
- Smooth peanut butter200 g
- Coconut milk150 ml
- Fresh lime juice1 tbsp
- Garlic cloves, minced2 pcs
- Wooden skewers12 pcs
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with lemongrass, turmeric, honey, and soy sauce. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the spices to penetrate the meat.
Combine peanut butter, coconut milk, minced garlic, and lime juice in a small pot. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the wooden skewers, weaving them back and forth in a zig-zag pattern to ensure even cooking.
Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over high heat with a touch of oil. Sear the skewers for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are nicely charred and cooked through.
Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve immediately with a bowl of the warm peanut sauce. This pair beautifully with fresh cucumber slices or steamed rice.
