Ingredients

Units Scale
For the pork satay:
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
For the dipping sauce:
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (adjust according to heat preference)
  • 1/4 cup hot water (to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Pork (30 minutes to overnight): In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, coriander, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the pork strips and ensure they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Prepare the Peanut Dipping Sauce (5 minutes): In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, and chili flakes. Gradually add hot water until you achieve your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
  3. Grill the Pork (10-12 minutes): Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork strips onto the soaked skewers. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char on the edges.
  4. Serve: Place the grilled pork satay on a plate and serve with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

When marinating the pork, the longer it sits, the more intense the flavors will be. If you have the time, letting it marinate overnight is highly recommended. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some coconut milk to the marinade for a richer flavor profile. To complement the dish, consider serving it with a side of jasmine rice or a refreshing cucumber salad to balance out the richness of the satay.
