Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for the sauce)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (for the sauce)
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Skewers (wooden or metal)

How to Make Grilled Beef Skewers with Peanut Sauce

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, you can skip this step.
2. In a bowl, combine the beef cubes, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, minced garlic, vegetable oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the beef is marinating, prepare the creamy peanut sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon lime juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency with water if needed and set aside.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated beef onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
5. Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness (145°F for medium-rare).
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve the grilled beef skewers drizzled with the creamy peanut sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, let the beef marinate for up to two hours.
• If you like it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the peanut sauce.
• Make sure your grill is hot before adding the skewers to get a nice sear.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your beef is cooked safely.

Easy Variations

• Swap beef for chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein option.
• Add colorful vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini to the skewers for added nutrition and flavor.
• For a twist, try adding a tablespoon of sriracha to the peanut sauce for a spicy kick.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a hearty side.
• A fresh cucumber salad to balance the richness of the dish.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a summer feel.
• A light, tangy slaw to add crunch.
