This delicious combination of spices in the marinade and the smoke from the grill makes for delicious, tender, flavorful meat. If you have coriander or cumin seeds, toast them in a small dry skillet until fragrant and then grind them in a coffee grinder used for spices only.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger root
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Chef Jamie’s Original Seasoning Blend or salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup pineapple juice
- 1 pound boneless chicken breasts, beef sirloin, or pork loin (or a mix)
- 18 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
PEANUT SAUCE
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 14 1/2-ounce can of low-sodium chicken broth
- Juice of 3 limes
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger root
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Slice the meat across the grain as thinly as you can (1/8 inch is ideal). Freezing the meat for 30 minutes makes it much easier to slice thinly. Transfer the meat to a large zip-top bag (one type of meat per bag) and add the marinade. Seal the bag/bags and toss it back and forth to coat the meat well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
- To make the sauce, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and allow to cook until smooth and thick, about 15 minutes, stirring often. Heat your BBQ to medium-hot. Thread a few slices of meat onto each skewer, bunching up the slices to cover about 5 inches of the skewer. Oil the grill and place the skewers on the BBQ. Flip and turn frequently until cooked through. Makes 15 to 18 skewers and about 3 cups of Sauce
