grilled teriyaki ginger beef satay



Satay.

Satay.

SATAY!

I don't know why but I just like the sound of that word. Sound much fancier than "meat on a stick".

AND I like the taste of it. Barbequed meat just can't be beat and this recipe really rocked it.


I didn't really care for the peanut sauce and didn't even put it on my meat but the marinade alone on the bbq'd meat was great.

I did make a few alterations from the original recipe listed below:

I didn't have sherry in the house so I used some sake. I'm sure wine would be good too. Or apple juice for those folks that don't do alcohol.

I omitted the hot pepper spice because then my kids won't eat it.

I also didn't have any green onions. oops.

But it still rocked :) Yum. Satay!

PS: To any of you Canadians out there this weekend, Happy Thanksgiving!
