About

Serve this with a vibrant salad for a lovely contrast of colours and textures; the rich, spicy satay works well with a burst of freshness next to it. You can use chicken or pork fillet instead of beef, if you prefer. If you don’t have a chargrill pan, the skewers can be cooked for the same amount of time under a hot grill, or on a barbecue. You can buy frozen kaffir lime leaves from any Thai grocery, they defrost in seconds.
