How to Make Satay Pork Skewer

Satay is a popular food that originated in Indonesia but now can be found throughout Southeast Asia. Although typically made with chicken, lamb or beef, it lends itself to pork as well.

Things You'll Need

• 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
• 3/4 cup miso-sesame dressing
• 3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
• 1 red pepper sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
• 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
• Wooden skewers
• Bowls

Instructions

1. Cut the pork into slices of about 5 inches long, 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick.

2. Add the pork to the bowl and mix in 1/4 cup of miso-sesame dressing for marination. This sauce can be bought or made from scratch. Let stand for 30 minutes.

3. Soak the bamboo skewers in cold water as the pork marinates. This helps to keep the meat in place on the skewers. Once marination is done, string the pork strips on the skewers.

4. Stir 1/2 cup miso-sesame sauce, smooth peanut butter and hot pepper sauce in a bowl. You also can drizzle some sesame oil if you have it handy, as it complements the peanut butter well.

5. Heat your grill to medium and cook the pork until slightly crispy on the edges. Toss the peppers and scallions, serve over the pork skewer and sate sauce.
