Directions
- Trim fat from meat. Cut meat across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. If using loin roast, cut slices to make 3x1-inch strips. Place meat in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl combine fish sauce, lime juice, lemongrass, oil, and garlic. Pour marinade over meat. Seal bag; turn to coat meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
- Meanwhile, prepare Satay Sauce. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Drain meat, discarding marinade. Thread meat accordion-style onto wooden* or metal skewers.
- For a charcoal grill, grill meat skewers on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 8 to 10 minutes or until meat is slightly pink in center, turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place meat skewers on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
- If desired, arrange meat skewers on cucumber and/or carrot strips. If desired, garnish sauce with chopped peanuts. Serve meat skewers with sauce.
