Ingredients:
For the Beef:
- 10 oz New Zealand grass-fed flat iron steak (Tip: Look for the Taste Pure Nature logo)
- 15 skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- Vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy, or regular soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
For the Sauce:
- 1 cup coconut milk, separated
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1/2 cup crushed peanuts
- 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce (or 1/2 teaspoons salt)
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
To Serve:
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Directions:
For the Beef:
- 1. Slice the steak into strips, approximately 2”x1” and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, curry powder, and ginger.
- 3. Pour the marinade over the beef and mix until evenly coated. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
- 4. Thread 2-3 pieces of marinated beef onto each skewer.
- 5. Heat a grill on high or heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan over high heat.
- 6. Sear the skewers until both sides turn dark brown and the inside is medium rare, about 2 minutes per side. If you prefer your beef more well done, cook the skewers for another 2 minutes over medium heat (or on the low heat side of the grill).
For the Sauce:
- 7. In a saucepan, heat 1/4 cup coconut milk over medium heat. Add the curry paste and simmer in the coconut milk until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 8. Add the remaining coconut milk, peanuts, sugar, fish sauce, and vinegar, and stir to combine. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To Serve:
- 9. Garnish the skewers with cilantro, if desired. Serve hot with the dipping sauce.
