Beef Steak Sosaties 4's (400g)

Beef sosaties are a delicious and popular South African dish consisting of skewered and marinated beef cubes, often cooked on the grill or braai (South African barbecue). The word "sosaties" is derived from the Indonesian term "sate," which means skewered meat.

How to Prepare Beef Sosaties:

1. Marinating the Beef: To make beef sosaties, start by cutting beef into bite-sized cubes. The most common beef cuts used for sosaties are sirloin, rump, or even chuck, as they are flavorful and tender when cooked properly. Marinate the beef cubes in a mixture of oil, vinegar or lemon juice, garlic, onions, and a blend of aromatic spices such as curry powder, coriander, cumin, and turmeric. Let the beef marinate for several hours or preferably overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to infuse the meat.

2. Skewering the Beef: After marinating, thread the beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with colorful vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. This not only adds flavor but also creates an appealing presentation.

3. Grilling or Braai: Beef sosaties are traditionally cooked on an open flame grill or braai. Preheat the grill or braai to medium-high heat. Cook the sosaties for a few minutes on each side, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. Baste the sosaties with any leftover marinade while grilling to keep them moist and flavorful.

4. Serving: Once the beef sosaties are cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the sosaties hot, garnished with fresh herbs and accompanied by sides like chutney, rice, or a traditional South African salad.

Beef sosaties are not only delicious but also offer a unique blend of flavors that combine the richness of beef with the tanginess of the marinade and the sweetness of the grilled vegetables. It's a perfect dish for gatherings, celebrations, or a delightful addition to a summer barbecue. Enjoy the taste of South Africa with these flavorful and tender beef sosaties!
