INGREDIENTS: For this recipe beef satay, I used4 grass-fed beef sataythat arrived in my Butcher Box shipment. The meat was really beautiful – I was impressed, but you can useflank steak or skirt steak. You want a meat that has some “grain” for that authentic look. I also usedRed Boat Fish SauceandMae Ploy Thai Red Curry Pasteas well as Tamari – agluten-free soy sauce.
I like Red Boat Fish Saucebecause it isgluten-free and produced in small batches using traditional methods — it’s also Paleo and my favorite.Three Crabsbrand is also a good fish sauce but I don’t know if it is gluten-free. In a pinch, theThai Kitchen fish saucefrom the grocery store (in the Asian section) is just fine and is available in a much smaller bottle.
FindChile Garlic Sauce in the Asian section of the grocery store — it’s wonderful! I absolutely love the stuff. It’s used in many Asian recipes from Chinese, to Vietnamese, to Thai, to Fusion recipes. Add a little of this flavorful sauce to mayo and you have a great condiment.
If you don’t have any Thai curry paste and you enjoy Thai food, you need to get at least one. I love the Mae Ploy brand and have theYellow Curry Paste(mild),Green Curry Paste(spicy),Red Curry Paste(medium-spicy),Panang Curry Paste(mild), and Massaman Curry Paste(mild). Yep, I have them all and I use them! They keep forever in the fridge. I’ve had mine for over a year and they are still great. If you are looking for one or two curry pastes to try, get the Yellow and Red or Panang. They are the most versatile.

Ingredients
Beef Satay & Marinade
1poundflank steak or skirt steak
2tablespoonsRed Boat Fish Sauceor your favorite
2tablespoonsTamari Soy Sauceor coconut aminios
2tablespoonsSukrin Goldpowdered (Swerve Confection, coconut sugar, or honey)
1/2teaspoonground coriander
Thai Peanut Sauce
1/4cupsmooth peanut butteror almond butter
1/3cupcoconut milkfull fat from a can
1-2teaspoonschile garlic saucefound in Asain section of grocery
1tablespoonSukrin Gold,powdered (Swerve Confection, coconut sugar or honey)
Preparation:Get your ingredients together. Powder the 3 T of Sukrin Gold if using.
Beef Satay:Cut the flank steak into 1 1/2 inch strips so that the grain of the meat is going horizontally across the strip. Stick the skewers into the meat leaving a handle long enough to hold while eating. Mix the fish sauce, soy sauce, and sweetener together in a baking dish and make sure to coat all surfaces of the beef. Sprinkle the meat with the coriander, rubbing it in. Let marinate for about 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, shake the can of coconut milk, preheat grill, and start on the peanut sauce.
Thai Peanut Sauce:In a smallish microwave safe bowl, warm the peanut butter up in the microwave for a few seconds. Stir in the chile garlic sauce, sweetener of your choice, and Thai red curry paste. I use a small whisk. Slowly add the coconut milk to the peanut butter mixture while stirring with a whisk.
Optional:If you are making the cucumber salad mentioned in the post, do so now.
Grill:Pour about 1 tablespoon of oil over the beef and coat all surfaces. Fold a piece of foil in half to be placed under the handles of the skewers while cooking on the grill. Remove the beef from the marinade and place it on the grill for cooking. Line them up and place the foil under the handles. Grill on both sides until done - this depends on how thick your meat is and how hot your grill gets.
Serve:Serve the beef satay with a Thai cucumber salad, Thai Chicken Coconut Soup or a regular salad with your favorite Asian dressing.
