Lean British beef naturally provides iron, which helps the immune system to work normally as part of a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle.
Ingredients
- 400g lean rump or thin cut sirloin steaks, cut into 1.5cm cubes
- 3 teaspoons mild curry powder
- 2 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped or crushed
- 1 x 2.5cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons low-fat natural yogurt
For the satay dipping sauce:
- 2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon reduced salt light soy sauce
- 100ml light coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- Juice of 1 lime
For the garnish:
- Small handful fresh coriander leaves
- 1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
To serve:
- 300g brown rice, cooked
- Mixed side salad
Method
- Soak 6-8 small wooden skewers in cold water for 10 mins. Alternatively, use metal skewers instead.
- To prepare the beef, in a large bowl add the beef, curry powder, garlic, ginger and yogurt. Season, if required and stir well to combine. Cover and set aside for 15 mins or in the fridge for longer, if time allows.
- For the satay dipping sauce, put the peanut butter, honey, soy sauce and coconut milk into a non-stick saucepan, stir and heat gently for a few mins until the right thickness is required. Add 2 tablespoons lukewarm water to the pan, if required. Add the dried chillies and the lime juice, stir gently. Set aside.
- Thread the beef onto your skewers and cook under a preheated moderate grill for 3 mins on each side (for rump) or 1-2 mins on each side (for thin cut steaks).
- Garnish the skewers with the herbs and chillies. Serve with the brown rice, the dipping sauce and a side salad.
