Satay Beef and Vegetables

Mouthwatering Satay Beef and Vegetables - the perfect dish for your Chinese Fakeaway

LOW CALORIE SATAY BEEF

Have I mentioned how much my kids love peanut butter? Especially my youngest, she could actually live on the stuff, but of course, it's off bounds when at school due to the severe allergies some kids can have. This means when she is at home she asks for it all the time.

The smell when slathering it on some toast for her with sliced banana and a drizzle of honey can really set off my cravings for some, so this morning when making her the usual peanut butter on toast, I figured a yummy satay beef and vegetables for dinner would be perfect.

CAN I USE PEANUT BUTTER POWDER FOR SATAY BEEF?

There are some peanut powders out there, but they just don't cut it for me, the peanut butter powders are usually high protein based and always taste a bit odd to me, so for this Satay Beef and Vegetables it had to be nothing other than the real deal.

I always buy natural peanut butter for the kids, where the ingredients are none other than just peanuts. Don't be duped into buying stuff that advertises itself as lower in fat, because it actually isn't any fewer calories and the lower fat means it's usually loaded with more sugar.

Traditionally satay is skewers of meat with a dipping peanut sauce, but I like to make it more of a combined dish with some healthy vegetables (think of the speed foods), and carrots, onion and green pepper compliment the dish really well as they take on the flavour of the sauce.

I like to serve with some bok choy, which I soften in some cooking oil spray and then add in oyster sauce for flavour, it's the perfect side dish to go with this Satay Beef and Vegetables. I've also enjoyed this dish with this yummy Roasted Cauliflower Rice instead of regular rice.
