Grilled Beef Satay Skewers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Beef Satay Skewers.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious marinade for your beef skewers, start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together the brown sugar, fish sauce, crushed garlic, minced onion, vegetable oil, soy sauce, ground coriander, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

2. Step 2

   Keep whisking until the mixture is nice and smooth, creating a flavorful base for your meat.

3. Step 3

   Next, take a stalk of lemongrass and give it a gentle whack with the back of a large chef's knife to release its aromatic oils.

4. Step 4

   Mince the bruised lemongrass and stir it into your marinade for an extra burst of flavor.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s prepare the beef! Slice your beef sirloin into strips that are about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8 inch thick.

6. Step 6

   Toss the beef into the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated—this should only take about a minute.

7. Step 7

   Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

8. Step 8

   This marinating time is crucial as it allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, making it tender and tasty.

9. Step 9

   When you’re ready to cook, fire up your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.

10. Step 10

    Once the grill is hot, take the beef out of the marinade, shaking off any excess.

11. Step 11

    Thread a quarter of the beef onto each metal skewer, and don’t forget to discard the leftover marinade.

12. Step 12

    Place the skewers on the grill and let them cook until they no longer stick, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

13. Step 13

    Flip the skewers over and continue grilling until the meat is beautifully browned and has those lovely grill marks, around 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

14. Step 14

    For the final touch, flip the skewers one last time and cook until the meat is still slightly pink in the center, about 2 minutes more.

15. Step 15

    Once done, transfer the skewers to a platter and let them rest for 2 minutes.

16. Step 16

    This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful.

17. Step 17

    Now, you’re ready to serve these mouthwatering beef skewers—enjoy the deliciousness!.
