Thai Beef And Pork Satay


1 1/2 lb beef sirloin tip or top round, cut in 1 cubes
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce

PEANUT SAUCE: 2 cloves garlic crushed
4 tb peanut butter
1 tb vinegar or lemon juice
3 tb soy sauce
1/4 ts cayenne
4 tb hot water

Rub beef with garlic, pressing garlic into meat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and sugar. Cut beef into 1-inch pieces thread on skewers. Set aside. Combine lemon juice and soy sauce brush over meat. Grill or broil 3 to 4 inches from heat until browned on all sides. Serve with Peanut Sauce. Makes 4 to 6 servings

Pork Satay: Use lean pork instead of beef season with 1/2 tsp. powdered ginger and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon in addition to pepper. Peanut Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients, beat to blend. Makes about 3/4 cup.

Now to me it would not be complete without this cucumber condiment (makes 1 cup)

1 firm, medium sized cucumber
2 tbs. distilled vinegar
2 tbs. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
1/2 small yellow onion, peeled, sliced lengthwise into paper thin slivers
12 paper thin lengthwise slivers of seeded hot fresh red chile peppers, about 1/4 inch long

Garnish: 1/2 cup dry roasted unsalted peanuts, coarsely chopped.

Julienne the cucumber. In a deep bowl, stir the vinegar, sugar, salt and white pepper until well blended. Add the remaining ingredients, except peanuts, and toss with the marinade. Top with the peanuts just before serving. Serve at once or cover and chill no longer than 2 hours before serving.
