Sate Beef

Recipe from an old Australian Women's Weekly cookbook. The sate sauce should be a thick paste type that you will probably find in the Asian food aisle of the supermarket near the green and red curry pastes. We used Yeo's Satay Sauce. We changed the beef to round steak, the original recipe called for fillet. You can use whichever cut you prefer.
