Ingredients
½ lb sirlion steak, sliced into thin strips
¼ tbsp sesame oil* or avocado oil
1 tbsp liquid aminos
¼ tbsp honey
¼ tsp curry powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 pinch Himalayan pink salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
½ cucumber, peeled and sliced
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
1/8 cilantro, chopped
¼ tbsp olive oil
¼ cup of lemon juice, freshly squeezed (can be substituted for apple cider vinegar
Directions
To prepare ahead of time: Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for 1-2 hours (omit if you are using metal skewers)
Combine all the satay ingredients except for the steak in a bowl. Add the steak strips to the marinade and massage to evenly coat. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour
Remove the beef from the fridge. Thread the beef strips onto the skewers by pushing through near one end of a strip, then folding the strip back over the tip of the skewer and running it through again, repeating this process until the entire strip is on the skewer. Allow a slight amount of room between each beef fold - like ribbon candy, but a bit less. Depending on how you sliced your beef and the original shape/size of the beef, you may have 1 to 3 strips on each skewer
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat. Once hot, place the satay skewers on the grill/pan. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. Set the skewers aside to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with a few sesame seeds or cilantro if you’d like
Make the cucumber salad by tossing the cucumbers, onion, and cilantro with olive oil, lemon, vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve the satay alongside the salad, and enjoy!

These were easy and tasty but came out a bit overcooked. I’ll check the meat earlier than time listed. Also, we made more meat and had to shove more in the skewers than listed.
