Description
Everyone knows I really like making skewers. I mean, who doesn’t love meat on a stick? Well, the word satay is an Asian way of saying “meat on a stick”. This recipe combines all my favorite ingredients- lime juice, cilantro, and jalapenos. I guarantee this will make it to your top 5 marinades once you make it. Yes it’s that good. The longer the meat marinates, the more flavor and cilantro lime goodness you’ll get!
Ingredients
- FOR THE MARINADE:
- ⅓ cups Soy Sauce
- ¼ cups Fresh Chopped Cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons Lime Zest
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice (the Juice Of One Medium Sized Lime)
- 4 teaspoons Fish Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Canola Oil
- 1-½ teaspoon Dark Brown Sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, Chopped
- FOR THE ASSEMBLY:
- 1 pound Beef Sirloin, Cut Into 1” Wide, 1/4” Thick, Long Slices (see Photo)
- 12 sticks Bamboo Skewers (soak For 30 Minutes Beforehand)
- 1 package Naan, Pita Or Flatbread, Enough For 4 “wraps”
- 1 whole Tomato, Diced
- 2 cups Arugula
- FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE:
- ½ cups Low-fat Sour Cream Or Greek Yogurt
- ¼ cups Minced Cilantro
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice (or The Juice Of One Medium Sized Lime)
Preparation
Puree all marinade ingredients (soy sauce, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, fish sauce, oil, sugar and garlic) with a hand mixer or food processor until it forms a paste.
Combine marinade and beef in a non-reactive container and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
Thread the beef strips onto the pre-soaked bamboo skewers.
For the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients (sour cream, cilantro and lime juice) and refrigerate until ready to serve).
Preheat a charcoal grill to medium high heat, about 350-400 degrees F. Grill the skewers for 3 minutes on each side or until char marks form. These are thin slices of meat so they don’t need much time on the grill.
Grill the Naan or Pita bread for 30 seconds on each side to warm them. Serve the skewers placed inside the Naan or flat bread. Remove the skewers and add the cilantro/lime dipping sauce, arugula and diced tomatoes.
Enjoy your Asian inspired “taco”!

Looks great and I can’t wait to make it, but in your description you said there was jalapeño in it. I don’t see it in the ingredients?! Do you just chop one in the marinade? Thanks

Question – you mention a jalapeno but not where to add it. Does it go in the marinade or the dipping sauce? I’d love to try this – it looks and sounds delicious!
