Indonesian Sate Kambing, or goat satay, is a flavorful and aromatic dish that offers a unique taste experience. Popular across Indonesia, this dish combines tender pieces of goat meat with rich spices and a savory peanut sauce. Making Sate Kambing at home allows you to enjoy authentic flavors and customize the spice levels to your preference.
Ingredients Needed
- 500 grams of goat meat, cut into cubes
- 10 bamboo skewers
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the peanut sauce:
- 200 grams roasted peanuts, ground
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 red chilies (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- Salt to taste
Preparing the Marinade
In a bowl, combine minced garlic, shallot, turmeric, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add a little water to create a marinade paste. Coat the goat meat evenly with the marinade and let it rest for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to absorb the flavors.
Assembling and Grilling
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated goat meat onto the skewers. Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Grill the satay for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred.
Making the Peanut Sauce
In a pan, sauté garlic and chilies until fragrant. Add ground roasted peanuts, sweet soy sauce, and water. Stir well and simmer until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add more water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the hot Sate Kambing with the peanut sauce on the side. Accompany with steamed rice, fresh cucumber slices, and a squeeze of lime for a complete Indonesian flavor experience. This dish is perfect for gatherings or a flavorful dinner at home.
