The sauce comes together very quickly, and the kabobs can be prepared in advance. They will actually gain flavor when left to marinate overnight.

Special Diet Notes: Curry Beef Kabobs with Peanut Sauce

By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, optionally gluten-free, and tree nut-free.

For peanut-free beef kabobs, simply swap sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter. I would use creamy rather than “chunky” in this case.

For soy-free beef kabobs, you can swap coconut aminos for the soy sauce. Coconut aminos are sweeter, so I would reduce the sweetener in the kabobs to 2 teaspoons, and add the brown sugar in the peanut sauce only as needed (taste test it!).

Serves: 8 skewers

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons light brown sugar, divided
• 1 tablespoon + ½ tablespoon soy sauce or wheat-free tamari (for gluten-free), divided
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder, divided
• 1 pound beef fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
• ½ cup crunchy peanut butter
• ½ small onion, grated
• Assorted vegetables, coarsely chopped

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, lime juice, curry powder, sesame oil, and ½ teaspoon chili powder. Add the beef cubes and toss to evenly coat.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or as long as overnight.
3. Soak 8 skewers in water.
4. Before cooking the beef, whisk the 2 teaspoons brown sugar, ½ tablespoon soy sauce, and ½ teaspoon chili powder with the coconut milk, peanut butter, and onion in a saucepan. Stir the sauce frequently over medium heat until simmering. Cover and remove from the heat, but keep warm.
5. Heat your broiler or grill to medium-high heat.
6. Thread the beef cubes on skewers, alternating with the vegetables.
7. If broiling, set the broiler pan so the surface of the beef is 3 to 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 7 to 9 minutes on high heat, turning once, for medium rare to rare. If grilling, grill for about 7 to 10 minutes.
8. Serve the beef kabobs with the warm peanut dipping sauce.
