Best Beef Satay With Spicy Mango Dip 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 SPICY MANGO DIP

Steps:

• Slice the beef into long, thin strips and thread, in zig-zag form, onto 12 bamboo skewers. Lay on a flat plate and set aside.
• For the marinade, dry fry the seeds and nuts in a large wok until evenly brown. Place in a pestle and mortar with a rough surface and crush finely. Or, blend the toasted spices and nuts in a food processor.
• Combine toasted seeds and nuts with the oil, onion, ginger, garlic, tamari and soy sauces, sugar and vinegar. Spread this mixture over the beef and leave to marinate for up to 8 hours (any longer and meat will turn mushy).
• Cook the beef under a moderate grill (broiler) or over a barbecue for 6-8 minutes, turning on each side to ensure an even color.
• To make the mango dip (can be done ahead of time): Process the mango flesh with the chilies, tamari sauce, lime juice, sugar, salt and parsley until smooth.
