Beef Satay
Notes: Instead of making spice paste, you can use 1/4 cup purchased Thai red curry paste mixed with 2 tablespoons salad oil; stir in a 6- to 8-inch frying pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes, then add sugar. You will need about 12 thin wood or metal skewers. If using wood, soak in water at least 30 minutes just before using. Up to 1 day ahead, coat meat with spice mixture and thread onto skewers; wrap airtight and chill.
