Thai Beef Satay
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, cut into long strips about 1 inch wide (or use fast fry steak)
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (I use the light kind, but not the crunchy kind!)
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce (reduced sodium)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger, minced (this is where I divide the recipe and have my bland part)
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
directions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and (if using) pepper flakes.
- If needed, you can add 2 tablespoons of water until it's smooth.
- Stir in the beef strips and coat well. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Thread strips loosely onto the skewers. Broil or grill for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Tip:.
- the beef will be more flavourful if you can marinate them for 2 hours (or more) prior to cooking. *Remember to refridgerate them if you are marinating for this long.

I'm a mom and I love to cook. Started cooking when I was 20, and found I love to do it! I love to experiment with new stuff all the time, and I hate prepackaged foods and recipes that use them, so I always try to figure out the ingredients on my own to copy a recipe. I just don't think that opening a can of baked beans and adding something to it makes for homemade beans!!)
My husband had a heart attack last year at the age of 39! So now, we try to eat a lot healthier. I am always looking for ways to get more veggies into him. In my recipes, I never add salt, but I post it here cuz I know most people still like the taste. It takes a while, but you get over it when you cut it out of your cooking. We don't even have a salt shaker anymore. Poor guests!
I love that when I post something here, I can see the nutritional breakdown so I know what he can and can't have. I've printed all kinds of recipes that I've found here and made up a heart friendly cookbook for us.
