WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Lay the steaks on a board, cover with cling film and bash them lightly to flatten and tenderise them. Cut each piece into at least 4 long strips about 2.5cm (1in) wide.
- Mix the soy sauce, oil, lime juice, spices and garlic with the salt. Coat the beef in this marinade and leave for an hour, if you have time, a few hours is fine, too.
- Heat a griddle pan or barbecue, until hot. Thread the beef strips on the skewers and cook for about 2 mins on each side until just cooked through. Warm the satay sauce, if you like.
- Serve the beef skewers on a bed of cucumber slices with the lettuce wedges, spring onions and lime wedges, and a bowl of satay sauce. Griddle or toast the bread to serve warm.
