Satay is a popular dish throughout Southeast Asia that features skewered meat and a creamy peanut sauce. It’s commonly served as a snack food, but we bulked it up into a meal with the help of fragrant jasmine rice and crispy roasted broccoli.

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mince garlic. Zest and halve lime. Thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Bring 1 cup salted water to a boil in a small pot. Once boiling, add rice. Cover and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Keep covered.
Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until golden brown and slightly crispy, 15-20 minutes.
Combine sirloin tips, 1 TBSP soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, half the garlic, ½ tsp lime zest, and a large drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan over low heat. Add scallion whites and remaining garlic, and toss until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Stir peanut butter, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 2 tsp sugar into pan. Slowly stir in ¼ cup water until incorporated. Remove pan from heat, and stir in a squeeze of lime. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Preheat broiler to high (or oven to 500 degrees). Rinse skewers under water, then thread steak onto them. Place on baking sheet and broil, flipping over halfway through, until slightly charred and cooked to desired doneness, 5-10 minutes.
Serve satay on a bed of rice alongside broccoli. Garnish with scallion greens, and serve with peanut sauce for dipping.
