Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Beef sirloin — Choose a tender cut of beef for the best results. If beef sirloin is not available, you can use beef tenderloin or ribeye as alternatives.

Tips & Tricks

  • Soaking the bamboo skewers in water before grilling helps prevent them from burning.
  • For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to the marinade.
  • Serve the Sate Klatak with a side of pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.

Serving advice

Serve the Sate Klatak hot off the grill, allowing the aroma to entice your guests. Arrange the skewers on a platter and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color. Serve with peanut sauce and steamed rice on the side.

Presentation advice

To elevate the presentation, you can serve the Sate Klatak on a banana leaf-lined platter. This adds a touch of authenticity and enhances the visual appeal of the dish. Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds over the skewers for an extra touch of elegance.
