Beef satay with fragrant yellow rice

Instructions

1 Roast peanuts in hot oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Add to processor or blender with garlic, soy sauce, salt and lime juice. Blend to a paste. Add coconut milk gradually to make a thick sauce.

2 Place rice in a bowl. Mix turmeric with 1/2 cup water and pour over rice. Cover with water and soak for 10-15 minutes. Drain.

3 Thread beef on satay sticks. If beef is thin, double the thickness when threading. Bring water and lemongrass to the boil then add rice and cover. Cook on low for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and leave covered for 5 minutes.

4 Preheat BBQ plate or wok to high heat. Cook beef for 3-4 minutes each side and place on a serving platter. Add oil to wok and stir-fry beans for a few minutes. Add tomatoes and toss quickly to cook.

5 Pour a little satay sauce over beef sticks and serve alongside yellow rice and stir-fried vegetables.
