Korean Beef Satay Recipe
This beef satay recipe was inspired by the traditional Korean beef barbeque named "Bool Kogi". You will discover that this recipe for satay is quite easy to make, and the result is beautiful fragrant beef grilled on a stick.
On top of this, after marinating the meat, the Korean marinade is quickly turned into a nice and spicy satay sauce.

Grilling Satay
You can perfectly grill satay on any open grill, whether it is a charcoal, gas or electric grill, but here at Hot Smoke BBQ we prefer to roast satay on a charcoal grill that can be closed. Like a Weber grill or similar.
Charcoal will give a special taste and aroma to the meat, something that you can never achieve on an electric or a gas grill.
We keep the fire in a pocket on one side of the grill, and create a cooler zone on the other side.
In this way you can first roast the satay shortly above the fire, then transfer them to the cooler zone, close the lid of the barbecue, then allow the satay to cook to perfection without charring.
The PitBoss Suggests:
Serve this spicy satay with slices of cucumber and pieces of onion or spring onion, and Korean Satay Sauce:
Korean Satay Sauce
We're not sure if the name "Korean Satay sauce" is really appropriate,
but this Korean Bool Kogi inspired satay sauce is really easy to prepare and is absolutely delicious!
For garnish, you might consider to toast a few tablespoons of sesame seeds in a dry skillet until golden brown.
Can also be served with white rice, or our easy and fragrant Malaysian Rice (Nasi):
