One thing that really makes this satay recipe stand out is the peanut butter. The nutty flavor mixed with the mild smokiness of the soy sauce and the sweet brown sugar combines well to form delicious morsels perfect for get-togethers. Serve as appetizers or the main dish.

“The soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and peanut butter come together as a rich and savory marinade for tender pork satay. Whether grilled over coals or gas the satays are a delicious appetizer or main dish, especially when served with a chili laced dipping sauce.” —Joan Velush

The Spruce/Julia Hartbeck
Cut pork into 1-inch pieces and place into a resealable bag.

The Spruce/Julia Hartbeck
For the marinade, place peanut butter, onion, garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, Tabasco, and oil in a blender and purée until well combined.

The Spruce/Julia Hartbeck
Pour the marinade over the pork and toss, making sure all the pieces are coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For best flavor, marinate 2 hours or up to overnight.

If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

The Spruce/Julia Hartbeck
Prepare a medium-high (400 F to 475 F) gas or charcoal grill fire.

Thread pork on skewers and grill, turning occasionally until the internal temperature reaches 145 F, 6 to 8 minutes total.

The Spruce/Julia Hartbeck
For the dipping sauce, combine the soy sauce, water, green onions, chili, brown sugar, and fish sauce in a small bowl. Taste and adjust to your liking. Serve with the grilled pork.
