Satay Beef - Indonesian Style (Bill's)
1 lb beef tri-tip or skirt steak
MARINADE:
1 lime juice
1 tb lime zest
1 tb peanut butter
1/2 c coconut milk
1/4 c honey
1/4 c plum wine
1/4 c soy sauce
1 ts cumin seeds
1 ts coriander seeds
2 tb shallots chopped
1 tb garlic chopped
1 tb ginger root fresh
Slice thin (about 1/4 inch thick by 1" wide) strips of the beef. Place the cumin and coriander
seeds in a pan without adding any oil. Dry fry them, stirring, over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes
until they are slightly browned, and give off a roasted aroma. Grind the seeds in a spice or coffee
grinder. Make the marinade. Place all the marinade ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed
for 1 minute. Pour marinade into a shallow bowl. Place meat strips in the bowl and coat all sides
with the marinade. Marinate beef for a minimum of 2 hours to overnight in the refrigerator. Thread
marinated beef strips on wet bamboo skewers. Make sure that the meat is put on in a single
layer--do not compress the meat on skewer. Grill over hot coals for 4-5 minutes per side. DO NOT
overcook. Serve with peanut sauce.
