Instructions
- Using a blender, blend all the marinade ingredients together to form a paste. Pour the marinade into a glass bowl (see note 1). Add beef to the marinade, toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes.
- To prepare the satay sauce: For quick work, blend together the peanut oil, onion, lemongrass, garlic and chilli. Alternatively, finely chop the onion, lemongrass, garlic and chilli. Add the paste (or chopped ingredients along with the peanut oil) to a frying pan over medium heat and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onion has cooked and the mixture has become fragrant. Add the curry powder, turmeric, paprika and crushed peanuts, continue to cook for 3 minutes to toast the peanuts and spices. Add the coconut milk, water, sugar, salt and tamarind puree, simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until thickened, stirring as needed. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over high heat (230-290°C). Thread the beef onto the skewers. Threading the longer strips of beef onto the skewer a few times so the skewer is compact. Try to keep the skewer to an even 1.5cm thickness.
- Grill the skewers over direct high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, keeping the lid of the barbecue closed. Flip the skewers and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
