Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds fillet of beef, or 4 whole chicken breasts 

1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger 

1 onion, cut into chunks 

4 cloves garlic 

1 cup low-sodium soy sauce 

1 teaspoon sambal (Indonesian chile paste), or 1 hot red chile 

Juice of 1 lemon 

2 tablespoons sugar 

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil 

Peanut Sauce

Preparation

Trim fat from beef or chicken. Cut into strips about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate until needed.

Combine remaining ingredients in blender, and puree until smooth. Pour over meat, and mix to coat evenly. Marinate at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat grill or grill pan until hot. Thread a piece of meat lengthwise on each skewer, and grill until done, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Baste occasionally with marinade during cooking. Serve immediately with peanut sauce.
