Spicy Beef Satay With Peanut Sauce

This originates from a small cookbook that was attached to Australian Table Magazine. The satay sauce is good with chicken or beef. If you wish to lighten the fat you could use half and half or fat reduced cream with 2 or 3 drops of coconut essence (add one drop at a time and taste). Diabetic friendly using low fat option and substituting brown sugar with splenda (depending on your tolerence to sugar). Does not include chill time.
