Grilled Sate Beef with Peanut Sauce

This recipe is just tasty tasty tasty.  My kids love it, especially since they can control how much peanut sauce they do or don't have with it.  Serve with rice and a nice salad . . .

Sate Beef with Peanut Sauce

1-1.15 lb. flank steak

3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce

1/4 teaspoon salt

Sauce:  

2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

3 Tablespoons coconut milk

1.5 Tablespoons soy sauce

2.25 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1.5 teaspoons sugar

1.5 teaspoons lime jice

3/5 teaspoon red curry paste (you should be able to get this at your grocery store, on the "foreign" food shelf)

1. Start grill (or broiler, if you have air conditioning in your kitchen)
2. Cut steak diagonally across the grain in 1/4 inch slices. 
3. Combine steak and hoisin sauce in a bowl.  Mix to coat.  
4. Thread steak onto skewers.
5. Sprinkle with salt. 
6. Mix sauce ingredients together, stirring until smooth.  Set aside.  
7. Coat grill or broiler pan with cooking spray or lightly brush with oil.
8. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until they're done.  They should still be a little pink in the middle.  If they're not, they'll taste like chalk dust.  
9. Serve meat along with sauce in small dipping bowls.
