BBQ Beef Satay

25 Minutes | easy | Serves 2

Sirloin is a lovely cut for skewering, as it stays really soft and cooks quickly – leave it a little pink in the middle, if you like. The satay sauce is simple to put together, and rich with coconut and peanuts, yet freshened with lime.

Ingredients

  • 500g sirloin steak
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, tough outer layers removed and finely sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika or chilli powder
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 100ml coconut milk
  • 100g peanut butter
  • 50ml lime juice
  • 4 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Chilli flakes, to garnish
  • Neutral oil for frying
