{"id":109843,"title":"Beef Satay","modified":"2025-10-29T15:24:47+01:00","plain":"Beef satay is one of my favorite dishes. Give it the time it needs to cook and a near-magical transformation occurs\u2014the flavors concentrate and what develops in the pot is unbelievably good.\n\n\n\nSatay (sat\u00e9) hails from Indonesian cuisine and is now enjoyed worldwide. This recipe takes its cue from traditional satay, typically marinated and cooked on skewers. If you love saucy beef recipes, my Panang beef curry might also catch your eye.\n\n\n\nWith a good side, this beef satay comfortably serves about 4. If you need to feed more, simply double or triple the recipe.\n\n\n\nWhy not serve it with quick Cantonese fried rice?\n\n\n\nIf you end up with leftovers, don\u2019t throw them out\u2014this dish reheats beautifully. Store leftovers in the fridge, or freeze them for longer keeping.\n\n\n\nTips for beef satay\n\n\n\nPatience is key. Depending on your batch size, the transformation may take a little longer.\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s a moment when the sauce thickens and turns glossy; from there, simply cook until the meat is tender.\n\n\n\nCraving another saucy beef dish? Head over to Chinese-Style Beef with Onions.\n\n\n\nThis recipe uses a homemade satay paste rather than store-bought\u2014you\u2019ll taste the difference.\n\n\n\nWhich cut of beef to use for beef satay?\n\n\n\nChoose an affordable stewing cut such as chuck or blade\u2014perfect for slow, gentle cooking.\n\n\n\nMy peanut sauce noodles, made with a variation of this recipe\n\n\n\nLean cuts cook too quickly and don\u2019t develop the same depth of flavor as tougher cuts. It\u2019s important to choose beef suited to slow cooking. Also, see this article on how to slice beef for Asian dishes.\n\n\n\nWhat to serve with beef satay?\n\n\n\nExtra vegetables pair beautifully with this dish. I often steam broccoli or cauliflower, but use any vegetables you enjoy.\n\n\n\nFinally, cook some noodles to serve alongside. Egg noodles, soba noodles, or even udon noodles are all delicious options. Use your favorite noodles.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\tBeef Satay\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\tBeef500 g beef, cut into cubes3 large onions, sliced3 fresh tomatoes, preferably peeled and cut into wedges5 tablespoons satay paste3 tablespoons nuoc mam (fish sauce)1 pinch pepperSatay Sauce0.5 lime, juiced1 teaspoon honey1 tablespoon light soy sauce1 tablespoon curry powder3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth)165 ml coconut milk\t\n\t\n\t\tSatay SauceIn a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, soy sauce, curry powder, and peanut butter.Transfer to a saucepan, add the coconut milk, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.BeefSaut\u00e9 the onions in a saucepan with a little oil for 5 minutes.Sear the beef, then add the satay paste, nuoc mam (fish sauce), and pepper.
