Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thread beef cubes onto metal skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear skewers 90 seconds per side without moving. They should be browned on edges, rare in center.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, and sriracha together until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Pour sauce over skewers and toss to coat. Warm for 1 minute, tilting pan so sauce clings.

  6. Step 6

    Plate satay over fried ketupat, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with cilantro.

Tools you’ll need

  • metal skewers (8-10 inch)
  • 12-inch skillet
  • small whisk or fork
