Step 1
Thread beef cubes onto metal skewers, leaving a tiny gap between pieces so they char evenly.
Step 2
Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, sambal, and lime juice with 3 tbsp water until smooth.
Step 3
Brush satay with 1 tbsp of the peanut sauce, then broil on high for 8–10 minutes, rotating halfway, until edges blacken.
Step 4
Toss cucumber with a pinch of salt and set aside—this draws out juices and wilts it slightly.
Step 5
Divide rice between two bowls. Lean satay skewers against the rice.
Step 6
Drizzle remaining peanut sauce over rice and satay. Top with cucumber and cilantro.
