Step 1
Slice the 1 lb beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, and thread onto 8 skewers. Set aside.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, juice of 1 lime, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth.
Step 3
Reserve 1/3 cup of the sauce for serving. Brush the remaining sauce over the skewers, coating all sides.
Step 4
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the meat is browned and cooked through, with a slight char.
Step 5
Serve the satay hot on banana leaves, with the reserved sauce on the side for dipping.
