Ingredients:

3/4 cup coconut milk
170g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
2 tbsp salsa sauce
30g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp cardamom
5g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp fish sauce
5g
1.50 lb beef
680g
1 tbsp peanuts
16g
1 tbsp coconut meat
16g
2 tsp coriander leaves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, salsa sauce, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, minced garlic, and fish sauce. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
2. Marinate the Beef:
- Place the beef cubes into the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each piece is well-coated with the mixture.
- Cover the bowl with cling film or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For the best results, marinate overnight to allow the flavors to infuse deeply into the beef.
3. Prepare the Skewers:
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, ensuring an even distribution and leaving a bit of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
4. Grill the Skewers:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the beef skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure all sides are evenly browned and the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
5. Prepare the Garnish:
- While the skewers are grilling, roughly chop the peanuts and set them aside.
- Shred the coconut meat if not already shredded.
6. Serve:
- Once the skewers are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts, shredded coconut meat, and chopped coriander leaves over the top of the skewers for added flavor and presentation.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve your Sweet Chilli Coconut Skewers hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice, fresh salad, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the rich and exotic flavors that make this dish a standout!

Tips:

- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.

- Marinate the beef for at least an hour to ensure the flavors are well absorbed.

- Cut the beef into uniform pieces for even cooking.

- Toast the peanuts slightly for enhanced flavor before chopping.

- Serve with a side of jasmine rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

With the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory notes, these Sweet Chilli Coconut Skewers are sure to become a favorite. Serve them hot off the grill and enjoy a taste of tropical paradise in every bite!
