Step 1
Thread beef cubes onto metal skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear skewers 90 seconds per side without moving. They should be browned on edges, rare in center.
Step 4
Whisk peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, and sriracha together until smooth.
Step 5
Pour sauce over skewers and toss to coat. Warm for 1 minute, tilting pan so sauce clings.
Step 6
Plate satay over fried ketupat, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with cilantro.
