Beef Satay is gorgeous, deeply flavored thanks to the Indonesian sweet soy sauce that lends its rich color and deep flavors. Do not use any soy sauce and make sure to use sweet soy sauce, as it makes all the difference to the colour, texture and flavor. While the world tends to prefer chicken over beef, in this case, and if done right the beef wins major leagues! Give it a try..
