Step 1
Thread beef cubes onto metal or wooden skewers (soak wood 10 min first). Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Brush all over the skewered beef.
Step 3
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high until smoking. Sear skewers 90 seconds per side until edges char.
Step 4
Whisk peanut butter with 3 tbsp warm water and half the lime juice until pourable. Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne.
Step 5
Arrange skewers on a plate with cucumber and tomato slices. Drizzle peanut sauce over the beef. Squeeze remaining lime on top.
