Authentic Indonesian Pork Satay Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 cup chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger root
• 1 cup roasted, salted Spanish peanuts
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons crushed coriander seed
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup melted butter
• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
• skewers

Instructions

1. Combine garlic, green onions, ginger, peanuts, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, coriander, and red pepper flakes in a food processor. Process until nearly smooth, then add broth and butter, mixing well to create the marinade.
2. Place the pork cubes in a large resealable bag and pour the prepared marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Remove the pork cubes from the bag and thread them onto skewers. In a small saucepan, bring the leftover marinade to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Reserve a portion of the boiled marinade for basting the skewers while grilling, and set aside the remainder as a dipping sauce.
4. Lightly oil the preheated grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill the pork satay skewers for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through, turning and basting frequently with the reserved cooked marinade. Serve hot with the dipping sauce.
