Nuea Satay Satay Beef Recipes

HOW TO MAKE BEEF SATAY

Steps:

• Place ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable oil, soy sauce, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl; whisk into a smooth marinade.
• Bruise lemon grass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.
• Cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. Thoroughly mix the beef into marinade until all beef strips are completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 the meat onto each metal skewer.
• Arrange skewers on the preheated grill and cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip skewers over onto other side and cook until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn onto first side again and cook until meat is still slightly pink, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.

BEEF SATAY WITH THAI PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• If cooking on a BBQ or over charcoal, soak skewers for 2 hours in water so they don't burn.

NUEA SATAY (SATAY BEEF)

Steps:

• Add meat strips one at a time to marinade and refrigerate, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Drain excess marinade from meat and weave each strip onto an 8 inch skewer lengthwise.
• Broil/Grill for 5 minutes on each side or pan-fry. TO PAN-FRY: Brush a large non-stick skillet with coconut milk and/or reserved marinade and cook meat for 2 to 3 minutes per side while brushing with liquid as you turn meat.
• Serve with Peanut Sauce. Recipe follows. Nam Jim Satay (peanut sauce) 1-3/4 cups coconut milk. 2 Tablespoons red curry paste. 1/4 cup thai fish sauce. 3 Tablespoons sugar. 1 cup finely ground roasted peanuts.

BEEF SHORT RIBS SATAY (SATAY KRA-TOOG NGUA) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mortar, combine the lemongrass, ginger, shallots, and garlic; pound to a semismooth paste. Stir in the oil, oyster sauce, fish sauce, turmeric, and the 1/3 cup coconut milk and mix well. Reserve 1/4 cup of this mixture and set aside. Transfer the rest to a large mixing bowl and add the short ribs. Toss the ribs to coat, cover the bowl, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours (you can get away with marinating for 6 hours at a minimum, though the satay will have less depth of flavor).
• When it is time to cook the ribs, preheat your grill until very hot. I highly recommend cooking satay on an outdoor grill over charcoal briquettes, but gas will suffice (cook them indoors in a grill pan only if you have a very good exhaust system, since they generate a lot of smoke). Make the baste by mixing the reserved 1/4 cup marinade with the 1/3 cup coconut milk. Grill the ribs for about 2 minutes on each side (a little more or less, depending on how you like your meat). As they cook, brush the ribs with the basting liquid and a sprinkling of salt. Let the cooked ribs rest for 2 minutes before serving with the satay peanut sauce and cucumber ajat. Accompany with jasmine or sticky rice or slices of toasted white bread.
