Ingredients
For Aussie Lamb
- 2 lbs Aussie lamb loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
For Marinade
- ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp kecap manis or light soy sauce
- 1½ tsp turmeric, fresh or ground
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
For Sauce
- 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp chili garlic sauce, or more to taste
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
Method
To make the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce and ginger in a small bowl. Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons warm water until desired consistency is reached; set aside.
Blend all marination ingredients together to form a paste.
In a large bowl, combine lamb cubes and marination paste; cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours to overnight.
Thread the lamb cubes onto the skewers. Brush with vegetable oil before grilling.
Prepare your BBQ and coals to about a medium heat. Place the cast iron skillet directly onto the coals.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron grill pan. Place the skewers into the skillet and cook approximately 4-5 minutes for each side, flipping as needed. They are done once there is nice caramelization to the meat. Cook longer for well done.
