Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast or beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- Peanut sauce, for serving
Directions
Step 1: Marinate the Meat
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and vegetable oil. Add the thinly sliced chicken or beef and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 2: Prepare the Skewers
Thread the marinated chicken or beef onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring the meat is evenly distributed. This helps the meat cook quickly and evenly, while also making them easy to handle on the grill.
Step 3: Grill the Satay
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the meat is charred and fully cooked. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), while beef should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium.
Step 4: Serve with Peanut Sauce
Transfer the grilled skewers to a serving platter and pair with a small bowl of peanut sauce. This rich and creamy sauce complements the grilled flavors, adding a sweet and tangy note to each bite. Serve warm and enjoy!
