CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH SATAY DIP

Steps:

• Take the mini chicken fillets and slice any large ones into fingersize lengths. Mix with the soy and sweet chilli sauces. Thread onto skewers, then place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, cover with cling film and freeze.
• To serve, defrost in the fridge overnight and cook at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 10-12 mins or until cooked through. For the dip, combine the peanut butter and coconut milk. Scatter the skewers with coriander leaves and chopped peanuts, if you like. Serve with the dip.

HOW TO MAKE BEEF SATAY

Steps:

• Place ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable oil, soy sauce, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl; whisk into a smooth marinade.
• Bruise lemon grass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.
• Cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. Thoroughly mix the beef into marinade until all beef strips are completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 the meat onto each metal skewer.
• Arrange skewers on the preheated grill and cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip skewers over onto other side and cook until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn onto first side again and cook until meat is still slightly pink, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.

SATAY SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the lime juice, honey, soy sauce, curry powder and peanut butter in a small bowl. Add a splash of water if it's too stiff. Transfer to a small pan with the coconut milk, and heat gently for 5 mins stirring continually, until combined.

SATAY DIP

Steps:

• Cook the olive oil, sesame oil, red onion, garlic, ginger root, and red pepper flakes in a small, heavy-bottomed pot on medium heat until the onion is transparent, 10 to 15 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, peanut butter, ketchup, sherry, and lime juice; cook for 1 more minute. Cool and use as a dip for Grilled Lemon Chicken skewers.

BEEF SATAY WITH SPICY MANGO DIP

Steps:

• Slice the beef into long, thin strips and thread, in zig-zag form, onto 12 bamboo skewers. Lay on a flat plate and set aside.
• For the marinade, dry fry the seeds and nuts in a large wok until evenly brown. Place in a pestle and mortar with a rough surface and crush finely. Or, blend the toasted spices and nuts in a food processor.
• Combine toasted seeds and nuts with the oil, onion, ginger, garlic, tamari and soy sauces, sugar and vinegar. Spread this mixture over the beef and leave to marinate for up to 8 hours (any longer and meat will turn mushy).
• Cook the beef under a moderate grill (broiler) or over a barbecue for 6-8 minutes, turning on each side to ensure an even color.
• To make the mango dip (can be done ahead of time): Process the mango flesh with the chilies, tamari sauce, lime juice, sugar, salt and parsley until smooth.
