30-MINUTE BEEF SATAY WITH PEANUT-GINGER RAMEN

Steps:

• Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using; I normally just grill the strips of beef as is.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons each soy sauce and lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons each sugar and ginger. Add optional garlic and/or 1/4 teaspoon optional red pepper flakes if a little heat is desired. Add beef, toss, and let sit 10 minutes. The marinating can also be done in a large, resealable plastic bag; make sure to squeeze out all air when sealing in beef and marinade. I have also skipped the skewers and cut my beef into 1 inch strips.
• Meanwhile, in a blender (I use my handy Bullet), puree remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon ginger with peanut butter and 1/3 cup water. Season to taste using remaining soy sauce and blend again. Stir in chopped peanuts and green onions and optional remaining 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Thread beef onto skewers if using. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Grill beef until charred and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toss ramen with peanut-ginger sauce. Serve with beef and a vegetable, like steamed eda mame.

HOW TO MAKE BEEF SATAY

Steps:

• Place ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable oil, soy sauce, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl; whisk into a smooth marinade.
• Bruise lemon grass by hitting it lightly several times with the back of a large chef's knife; mince the lemon grass and add to the marinade.
• Cut beef sirloin into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/8 inch thick. Thoroughly mix the beef into marinade until all beef strips are completely coated, about 1 minute. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove beef from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Thread 1/4 the meat onto each metal skewer.
• Arrange skewers on the preheated grill and cook until the meat stops sticking to the grill, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip skewers over onto other side and cook until meat is well browned and shows grill marks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn onto first side again and cook until meat is still slightly pink, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and let skewers rest about 2 more minutes before serving.
