Pork Satay with "Peanut" Dipping Sauce
A delicious marinated pork recipe, skewered and either grilled or broiled. This delicious appetizer or main course is perfect with a Thai style dipping sauce. I use SunButter instead of peanuts to keep it allergy friendly, with a delicious nutty flavor!

- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 3/4 cup coconut aminos or sub 1/3 cup tamari + 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup sriracha
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar (optional - omit for Whole30)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons shallots finely minced
- 2 tablespoons garlic finely minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
Thinly slice pork against the grain, and add to a large containter with a lid.
In a medium sized bowl, add the rest of the marinade ingredients, and whisk to combine. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade to use for the dipping sauce.
Pour the rest of the marinade over the pork, and marinate at least 2 hours, but overnight is best.
Preheat oven to Broil, or grill over medium high heat.
Thread meat on skewers. I use 8 inch skewers. Add to a lined baking pan, if broiling.
Broil the skewers for about 6 minutes, until the edges begin to char, and then flip them and continue to broil another 3-4 minutes, until the meat is cooked through.
If grilling these skewers, place them on a very hot grill for about 4 minutes, flip them, and continue to grill for another 3 minutes on the other side.
Serve with the "Peanut" Dipping Sauce.
Dipping Sauce
Add the reserved marinade, coconut milk, lime juice, and SunButter to a blender, and process until smooth.
Adjust to taste by adding more lime juice, sriracha, or salt, as necessary.
Usually served as an appetizer, pork satay also makes a delicious main course when served with a simple cucumber salad and either steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
Make an Authentic Peanut Sauce: Traditionally, satay is served with a peanut sauce, made from whole peanuts. If this is what you’re after, try this Peanut Satay Sauce recipe.
