Thai beef satay is a great dish to make at home during the week as it's very easy to prepare and cook, and it's very tasty. You can tender pieces of beef covered in a peanut sauce. You can serve it with rice or salad, or have it as a starter.
Ingredients
- 800g (about 1.76 lbs) beef fillet or rump, cubed
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- ½ tbsp black peppercorns
- 1 stick lemongrass, finely diced
- thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely diced
- small piece of fresh turmeric, peeled and finely diced
- 2 tbsp palm sugar
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 350ml (about 1.5 cups) coconut milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 100g (about 3.5 oz) peanuts, skin off
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 2 tbsp tamarind puree
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
Directions
Beef marinade
Start by making the marinade for the beef. Toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and black peppercorns in a small frying pan over medium heat. Transfer them to a mortar and pestle and pound for 1-2 minutes before adding the ginger and lemongrass.
Pound this mixture for another 2-3 minutes before adding 1 tablespoon of palm sugar, salt, and vinegar. Mix well, then add 150ml (about 2/3 cup) of coconut milk. Mix one last time, then pour over the beef, mixing well.
Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is preferable.
Peanut sauce
To make the peanut sauce, toast your peanuts until well browned, then crush them in a mortar and pestle for 3-4 minutes.
In the same pan used for the peanuts, add a small amount of oil over medium heat, then add your red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
After that, add 200ml (about ¾ cup) of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of palm sugar, and the tamarind puree.
Cook on medium-low heat for 6-7 minutes, before seasoning with fish sauce and adding the crushed peanuts. Stir well, and it's ready to serve.
Thai beef satay
- Skewer the marinated beef cubes and grill, ideally over charcoal. If you don't have access to a charcoal barbecue, you can grill them on a gas barbecue or even under your oven's grill, if necessary. Grill the beef for 1-2 minutes on each side until you achieve a nice colour and it's ideally still rosy pink in the middle.
- Serve the beef hot, accompanied by plenty of the peanut dipping sauce, and if serving as a main meal, also include some sticky rice and pickled cucumbers.
