Pork tenderloin satay with peanut sauce

Tender grilled meat with a homemade, creamy sauce – Asian flavors cooked over charcoal.

Who is this for?

Serves 4 as a main course, or 6–8 as appetizers.

Ingredients (4 servings):

  • 500 g pork tenderloin, cubed
  • 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

For the peanut sauce:

  • 100 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp sweet soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sambal
  • 1 tsp lime juice

You will need:

  • Skewers, open grill, or satay grill
  • Charcoal (preferably hornbeam mix)

Here’s how to make it:

Marinating
Mix the soy sauce, oil, garlic, and ginger. Let the meat marinate for at least 1 hour.
Grilling
Thread the meat onto skewers. Grill for about 6–8 minutes total, turning frequently.
Making the sauce
Gently heat all the ingredients in a small saucepan until the sauce is smooth.
Serving
Serve the satay with warm sauce and, if desired, kroepoek or atjar.

Tip:

Soak wooden skewers so they don’t burn on the grill.
