Move over Hot Dog, Satay is on the Way!

Balinese Street Food was one of our culinary highlights of our trip to Bali. Like our street-side American addiction to hotdogs, gyros and corn dogs, Balinese have their satays, fritters and soups.

There are many recipes for satay...pork, shrimp, chicken or beef, but my choice of protein is the skirt steak. Skirt is fatty and flavorful and easy to bite off when your trying to be a lady at a cocktail party. Hope you all enjoy the recipe. It's even great if you don't put the meat on a stick!

Beef Marinade:

1- 1 ½ lb. skirt steak (or flank steak)
1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1/3 cup minced shallots
1 T chopped cilantro
1 T curry powder-yellow
(or) 1 Tablespoon curry paste from Asian Store
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander

Place beef in shallow dish with marinade. Marinade for at least four hours and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature before grilling. Preheat medium-hot grill or preheat the broiler. Cut beef against the grain and thread onto pre-soaked bamboo sticks or metal skewers. Grill for about one minute each side. The sugar in the marinade will burn quickly, so keep an eye out on your skewers. Serve immediately. Preferably with a spicy peanut sauce!
