Pork Satay With Peanut Sauce
Cut pork tenderloin in 4 inch (10cm) by 1 inch (2.5cm) lengths.
Place the pork strips in a large sealable bag.
Whisk marinade ingredients together in a small bowl to combine. Pour over
the pork and place in the refrigerator. Let marinade for 4 hours and up to
overnight.
Remove pork from refrigerator, strain pork in a colander. Discard marinade
and pat pork dry.
Thread pork on to soaked bamboo skewers. Brush pork with oil and season to
taste with salt and pepper.
Preheat the grill to medium high heat. 375°F/190°C Place a sheet of aluminum
foil 4 inches (10cm) by 10 inches (25cm) in the center of grill. Oil the
grill to prevent sticking.
Place skewers on grill with the ends of the skewers over aluminum foil.
(This is done to prevent skewers from burning).
Cook the skewers 3-4 minutes per side. Remove pork, place on tray and
loosely cover with aluminum foil.
Let pork rest 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with the Satay sauce.
