Instructions
Preparation
- Cut 500 g pork fillet into cubes. Peel and chop 2 cloves garlic for the marinade, 2 cloves garlic for the sauce, and 1 onion finely.
- In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp ketjap manis, 1 tbsp soy sauce, the finely chopped garlic, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp brown sugar, 0.5 tsp turmeric powder, and the juice of 0.5 lime to make a marinade. Add the pork cubes and mix well so the meat is fully coated. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably longer for more flavour.
Cooking
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the onion and finely chopped garlic and sauté until soft and translucent. Add 150 ml coconut milk, 4 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp ketjap manis, 0.5 tsp sambal oelek, and 0.5 tsp brown sugar. Stir until smooth. Let thicken over low heat and add a little water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
- Thread the marinated pork fillet cubes onto the satay sticks. Heat a grill pan or barbecue until very hot and grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
To serve
- Serve the grilled satay skewers with the warm satay sauce and optionally extra sweet soy sauce and fried onions.
- Delicious with slices of cucumber and a bowl of white rice or crispy baguette. Enjoy your meal!
Notes
A handy tip for pork fillet satay: soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the meat. This prevents them from burning on the grill or barbecue and keeps the skewers sturdy during cooking.
