Step 1
Begin by soaking 10 wooden skewers in water for half an hour. This will prevent them from burning when cooking.
Step 2
Place the sliced steak in a large bowl with the oil, dark brown sugar and fish sauce. Mix together using your hands and massage the sauce into the steak for a minute. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 mins. (If you want to marinate for longer - i.e up to overnight, then place in the refrigerator).
Step 3
Whilst the meat is marinating, add all of the basting ingredients to a bowl and whisk together. Put to one side.
Step 4
Now place all of the satay sauce ingredients EXCEPT for the lime juice into a small pan.
Step 5
Heat over medium heat whilst stirring with a wooden spoon. The sauce will look thin at first, then as it comes close to boiling point, it will start to thicken. Don't let the sauce boil, just turn down the heat as it approaches boiling point and stir until thickened, then turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice.* Note 1
Step 6
Take the skewers out of the water and give them a shake to remove excess water, then thread the steak strips onto the skewers, and place the skewers on a plate. Brush with the basting sauce.
Step 7
Heat a griddle or barbecue very hot. Place the skewers on the griddle and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Turn a couple of times during cooking and baste generously each time you turn the skewers. Note: It will smoke a lot - so keep the windows open!!
Step 8
Place the skewers on plates, then reheat the satay sauce if you like it hot. Serve in a bowl alongside the skewers. Top with fresh coriander (cilantro) and a few slices of red chilli. If you like lots of toppings, you can also top with chilli flakes, a little red onion, a few chopped peanuts and some sesame seeds.
