– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tbsp lime juice
– 1 tbsp brown sugar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp grated ginger

For the peanut sauce:
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/4 cup coconut milk
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tbsp lime juice
– 1 tsp sriracha
– 1 tbsp brown sugar
– 2 tbsp water

Instructions

1. Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
2. Combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger in a bowl.
3. Thread 1.5 lbs of pork sirloin strips onto the soaked skewers.
4. Place skewers in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them, coating evenly.
5. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes (tip: room temp marinating helps meat cook more evenly).
6. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (400°F).
7. While grill heats, make peanut sauce by whisking 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp sriracha, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 2 tbsp water in a saucepan.
8. Heat sauce over medium-low for 3 minutes, stirring constantly until smooth.
9. Remove skewers from marinade and shake off excess liquid.
10. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F (tip: use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness).
11. Flip skewers once when you see clear grill marks forming.
12. Remove skewers from heat and let rest for 3 minutes before serving (tip: resting allows juices to redistribute).

Deliciously tender pork pairs with the creamy, slightly spicy peanut sauce for a textural contrast that’s hard to resist. Serve these skewers over jasmine rice with extra sauce for dipping, or chop the meat into a fresh salad for a lighter meal. The charred edges from grilling add smoky depth that balances the sauce’s sweetness perfectly.
