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!

Ingredients

  • 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

Dipping Sauce

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
