Introduction
Sate daging kelapa goreng is a popular Indonesian dish loved by many. It is a combination of juicy grilled meat skewered on bamboo sticks, dipped in a rich coconut milk marinade, and topped with crispy fried coconut flakes. This dish is perfect for any occasion, be it a family gathering, a party, or just a simple dinner at home.
Ingredients
For the meat marinade:
- 1 kg beef sirloin, cubed
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp tamarind paste
- 2 tbsp palm sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp salt
- Bamboo skewers, soaked in water
For the fried coconut flakes:
- 1 cup grated coconut
- 1 tsp salt
- Oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, tamarind paste, palm sugar, garlic, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
2. Add the cubed meat to the marinade and mix well until the meat is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. Thread the marinated meat onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
4. Grill or broil the skewered meat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and slightly charred.
5. While the meat is grilling, prepare the fried coconut flakes. In a pan, heat up some oil over medium heat. Add the grated coconut and salt, and stir until the coconut turns golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the coconut flakes from the pan and drain them on a paper towel.
7. Once the meat is fully cooked, remove them from the grill or broiler and place them on a serving platter.
8. Sprinkle the fried coconut flakes over the skewered meat and serve hot.

Tips
- Use beef sirloin for the best results, but you can also use other types of meat such as chicken or lamb.
- Soaking the bamboo skewers in water prevents them from burning while grilling.
- If you don't have a grill or broiler, you can also cook the skewered meat on a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Make sure to stir the fried coconut flakes constantly to prevent them from burning.
- You can also serve sate daging kelapa goreng with peanut sauce or sambal for extra flavor.
