Satay beef skewers are a great summer dish

Ingredients

  • 1 rump steak
  • Low-calorie cooking spray

For the marinade

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp cornflour

For the satay sauce

  • 40ml water
  • 25g peanut butter powder
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sweetener
  • 1⁄2 tsp fish sauce

Method

  1. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in hot water for a few minutes while you prepare the ingredients.
  2. For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a shallow bowl until well mixed.
  3. Tenderise the rump steak by hitting it with a rolling pin, then cut into wide strips against the grain.
  4. Add the beef strips to the marinade and leave for at least 10 minutes.
  5. While the beef marinates, prepare the satay sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a small saucepan.
  6. Thread the beef strips onto the skewers. Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place on a high heat. Add the beef skewers to the pan and fry them for 2 minutes on each side.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the satay sauce over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add more water to loosen the sauce if required, and then pour it over the skewers. Serve as they are or accompanied by rice, salad and a sprinkling of chopped peanuts.
