Indonesian Beef Satay

Prep time: 30-45 mins
Cooking time: 30 mins
Level of difficulty: 3.5/5

Ingredients

Part A
--------
a) 1kg beef, cut into cubes of 2-3cm
b) 6 tablespoons sweet sauce (kicap ABC/Bango are the best)
c) 50g melted butter
d) 5 tablespoons grounded white pepper
e) 2 teaspoons baking powder
f) Satay sticks

g) Some cooking oil to soak satay sticks in

Mix all these ingredients (a-e) in a bowl and set aside to marinade for at least 1 hour. Soak the top half of the satay sticks with cooking oil so that it will be easier to put through the beef cubes. Take about 3-4 cubes of marinated beef and put them through (one) satay stick. Repeat till all the beef cubes are finished. Put onto grill/oven till cooked, making sure both sides are cooked.

Part B - The Sauce
----------------------
h) 10 tablespoons sweet sauce
i) 6 kaffir lime leaves, shredded
j) 1 tablespoon kaffir lime juice
k)10 shallots, sliced finely

l) 10 cili padi (bird-eye's chillies)

m) Garnishing: Fried shallots

In a pot, mix all the ingredients (h-l) and leave to boil. If mixture is too thick, add some water. Once boiled, turn off heat and add fried shallots. To serve satay, arrange the satay on a plate and pour some sauce over/serve sauce separately in a bowl.
