Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1.5 lb beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, and thread onto skewers. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp vegetable oil until the sugar dissolves.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the marinade over the beef skewers, coating all sides. Let them sit for 10 minutes while you preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high.

  4. Step 4

    Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the beef is browned and slightly charred at the edges, with an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.

  5. Step 5

    In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup peanut butter with the juice of 1 lime and 2 tbsp of the leftover marinade to make a quick sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the beef satay hot with the peanut-lime sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
