Mongolian Beef Satay Ingredients
This recipe features sweet and spicy flavors that are easy to put together! It is the best combination and grills the beef perfectly tender with a crisp outside edge. The dipping sauce and seasonings on the beef are the best mixtures to blend and grill on the fire.
Sirloin steak – Slice the steaks into long thin slices. The skewer will weave in and out of the steak. Peanuts – Find chopped peanuts or personally chop the peanuts using a food processer or blender. Peanut oil – This oil gives a special authentic flavor to the meat while it is being cooked. Ginger – Always a sweet and earthy root that has several health benefits as well as adding flavor to all dishes. Garlic – Give that garlic a good mince and add it for the flavor. Pepper flakes – Just a little bit of heat to add to the seasoning. Soy sauce – Always a favorite condiment that enhances the Asian style of cooking. It is a MUST to keep on hand for more recipes to follow! We choose to use a low sodium soy sauce to help with the salt intake. Dark brown sugar – The darker sugar adds more color and flavor to the sauce.
Spicy Dipping Sauce
Most beef satay recipes have a peanut dipping sauce that we use on our chicken satay recipe. But I decided to mix things up and do a spicy sauce which made the meal a yummy combination of sweet and spicy. This sauce is a combination of mayo, sour cream, sriracha, some lime juice, and garlic powder. That’s it! So easy and delicious!
Mayonnaise – This is the base of the dipping sauce and thickness. It has all the flavor and adds a creamy texture. Sour cream – Add this with the mayonnaise for a thick dipping sauce. Sriracha hot sauce – Heat in the sauce! You will love these sweet and spicy sauces. Lime juice – A zesty and fresh squeeze helps balance all the flavors together. Garlic powder – Bring garlic powder t other mixture for the classic garlicky taste and flavor.
Spices and Seasonings for Satay
Satay can have a variety of seasoning mixtures for the beef. Each spice is meant to add flavor, balance the flavors together, as well as boost every bite. Mix and match seasonings, add more in, or find what is best for your Mongolian beef dinner!
Peanut oil – If you have a peanut allergy you can use vegetable oil instead. Ginger – Fresh or dried ginger works great! Red pepper flakes – A little goes a long way, so use a tiny bit at first and then add more for extra spice. Soy sauce – This is known for the saltiness in the ingredients. Soy sauce is a great way to add flavor but also balance out all the ingredients together with the salty additive. Dark brown sugar – Added in for a deep sugary sweetness!
