→ For Serving

12 - Steamed rice or coconut rice

# Instructions:

01 - Combine peanut butter, tamari/soy sauce, Thai red curry paste, pickled ginger, and sesame oil in a glass jar or blender. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together sweet Thai chili sauce, tamari/soy sauce, chopped garlic, grated ginger, and chili paste. Add cubed beef and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes for optimal flavor development.
03 - Thread the marinated beef cubes onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces to ensure even cooking.
04 - Preheat grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook skewers for 8-12 minutes total, turning occasionally, until meat is lightly charred on all sides and cooked to desired doneness.
05 - Arrange skewers over steamed rice on serving plates. Garnish with lime wedges, sliced avocado, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro leaves. Drizzle with peanut sauce and serve additional sauce on the side for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - For best flavor, allow the steak to marinate longer if time permits, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
02 - The peanut sauce can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
