Loved it, I had always had peanut and chicken, never had it with steak. The steak goes delectably well with the coconut-peanut sauce. The only change I made was to use onion powder. I served it with stir-fried rice on the side. And everything was easy to put together. Thank you!

This is gorgeous and pleased the in-laws tonight! RE Marinade: I worried the 2t. cumin wd make this too "Mexicany", but the strong cumin flavor cooked away. I added a garlic clove and put in <1/4c. olive oil & 1T. peanut butter instead of p. oil. It made for a lovely, FLAVORFUL, thick marinade that stuck well to the meat (it marinated overnight). I plan on using this marinade for our Spring BBQ! RE Sauce: I went shy on the chili flakes (1/4t.), but the richness of the sauce can definitely handle the 1/3t. I was disappointed that the coriander got a bit lost in the richness & thought that going lite next time wd improve this sauce for me. MIL wd have no changes, though, and requested the recipe!

I really liked this. I served it with steamed basmati rice and some stir-fried Asian greens. The marinated beef has a lovely flavour that the satay sauce really enhances. I like spicy foods so I did not think that it was that spicy, however it is easy to adjust this to personal taste. I did make 2 small changes - 1 planned, 1 not. I used coconut flavoured light evaporated milk instead of 'real' coconut milk to lower the fat content. This worked very well - I couldn't tell the difference. I didn't have chilli flakes in the pantry so I used 2 small whole dried chillis instead. I like a thick sauce so it did take quite a while for my sauce to reduce to my liking. I will probably thread the skewers prior to marinating next time.

This was made for the swap game and thoroughly enjoyed! I actually did a change on this, I used 1 pound of chicken breast cut into strips in place of the rump roast and it worked very well, I also did a few other minor ingredient adjustments and made this on my indoor gill, thank you for sharing this Chef potts, I will make again!

This was very good and we really liked the marinade but didn't much care for the satay sauce. I added some garlic, ginger and soy sauce to the sauce and that seemed to help for our taste. Over all a nice recipe full of flavor. I used flank steak that I had in the freezer which has become one of my favorite meats lately. Had to broil it in the oven because of the continuous rain here. Thanks I'mPat for sharing.

A wonderful recipe!! I made almost exactly as is, except instead of using a small onion chopped finely. I used a medium one cut into wedges which I threw into the marinade and then used it to thread between meat on the skewers. As beef has really gone up in price, I made with a combination of beef and chicken and it was a nice contrast. The satay sauce was so simple compared to others I have made including my own, but was really tasty and so much easier to make. The only change I made was to throw in some sweet chili sauce. The brand I buy has quite a nice kick to it and it just added that extra zing I love along with the chili flakes. A keeper for sure as it is 23 hours less marinating time than I am used too, with a great end result and a great satay sauce with no fuss, can't beat that. Thanks Pat

These satays were ok; but we found the cumin in the marinade overpowered the rest of the flavours. Next time i would omit the cumin altogether. Also, I used the full cayenne amount and I would not call the satays spicy. So add more cayenne if you want something hotter. My family (I dont like peanut butter) really liked the peanut sauce.
