Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound boneless pork loin
2 tablespoons coriander seeds or 2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
10 shallots, peeled and trimmed
2 cloves garlic
1 small knob fresh ginger
1/4 thumb-sized piece turmeric or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
4 stalks lemon grass, sliced fine
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
10 shallots, peeled and trimmed
8 cloves garlic, peeled
2 stalks lemon grass, trimmed
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup coconut milk (or canned, unsweetened milk)
2 tablespoons tamarind juice or pineapple juice
2 teaspoons hot chili paste
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
30 to 35 bamboo skewers, covered with cold water and soaked for 20 minutes

Steps:

  • Trim meat, and cut into thin, angled slices about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Place in a bowl. In an ungreased saute pan, heat the coriander seeds and cumin for several minutes over medium heat to bring out flavor. Add to the bowl.
  • Prepare the marinade. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade or in a blender with the motor running, add the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, lemon grass, soy sauce and brown sugar. Blend to a fine paste, and add to the meat. Toss lightly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the peanut sauce. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade or in a blender with the machine running, puree the shallots, garlic, lemon grass, peanut butter, coconut milk, tamarind juice, chili paste, brown sugar and soy sauce.
  • Thread the meat slices through the bamboo skewers, and prepare a fire for grilling or the broiler. Place on a baking sheet about 3 inches from the source of heat. Grill 6 to 7 minutes, turning once, until the pork is cooked. Remove and serve the sauce for dipping.

I made this dish for my family and they loved it! My kids are picky eaters, but they ate everything. That's a win in my book!

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used a mild curry paste. It turned out great! The satay sauce was still flavorful, but it wasn't too spicy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some leftover pork chops and I used them to make this dish. It turned out great!

I served the satay with a side of jasmine rice and a cucumber salad. It was a delicious and healthy meal.

I grilled the pork skewers on my indoor grill and they turned out perfectly. I was worried that they would be dry, but they were actually very moist and flavorful.

I didn't have any lemongrass, so I used lime zest instead. It turned out great! The lime zest added a nice citrus flavor to the satay sauce.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but I really enjoyed this dish. The satay sauce was so good that it made me forget that I was eating pork.

I've tried many satay recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The marinade is so flavorful and the pork is so tender. I highly recommend this recipe!
