Ingredients:

• 500 grams beef (sirloin or tenderloin), cut into large cubes
• 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 15-20 skewers

Marinade:

• 6 shallots
• 5 cloves garlic
• 3 candlenuts
• 1/2 tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted
• 1/2 tablespoon palm sugar
• 6-8 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
• 1 teaspoon salt

To Serve:

• Sliced shallots and bird’s eye chilies for garnish
• Sambal kecap (sweet soy sauce sambal)
• Steamed white rice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

   • Cut the beef into large cubes, ensuring to slice against the grain. This helps in keeping the beef tender after grilling.

2. Make the Marinade:

   • In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, candlenuts, toasted coriander seeds, salt, and palm sugar. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
   • Add the sweet soy sauce to the paste and blend again to mix well.

3. Marinate the Beef:

   • Place the beef cubes in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the beef and mix thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
   • Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate the beef overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, enhancing its taste.

4. Prepare the Skewers:

   • The next day, thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers. Typically, each skewer will hold about 5 pieces of beef, but this may vary based on the size of the beef cubes and skewers.
   • You should end up with approximately 16 skewers, though this can vary based on the size of the beef chunks.

5. Grill the Sate:

   • Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to reach a consistent, high heat.
   • Grill the skewers, basting occasionally with the melted margarine to keep them moist and add flavor.
   • Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on the heat of your grill and the size of the beef cubes.

6. Serve:

   • Arrange the grilled skewers on a serving plate. Serve with steamed white rice, garnished with sliced shallots and bird’s eye chilies.
   • Accompany the dish with sambal kecap and, if desired, some Tempe Oblok-Oblok for a traditional touch.

Enjoy this delicious and authentic Indonesian dish with family and friends, savoring the rich and savory flavors of Sate Sapi!
