Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thread beef cubes onto metal skewers, leaving a tiny gap between pieces so they char evenly.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, sambal, and lime juice with 3 tbsp water until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Brush satay with 1 tbsp of the peanut sauce, then broil on high for 8–10 minutes, rotating halfway, until edges blacken.

  4. Step 4

    Toss cucumber with a pinch of salt and set aside—this draws out juices and wilts it slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Lean satay skewers against the rice.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle remaining peanut sauce over rice and satay. Top with cucumber and cilantro.

Tools you’ll need
