Why You’re Going To Love Beef Satay In The Air Fryer

  • Fast. If you omit the time it takes to marinate this recipe, it is done in less than 30 minutes!
  • Easy. A simple pour and cook recipe made in your air fryer.
  • Low Carb. Only 10 net carbs per serving.
  • High Protein. Packs an incredible 56 grams of protein per serving.

I have worked hard to make recipes that require very little work time. At the most, I want you to spend 10-15 minutes getting the meat ready and 10-15 minutes cooking.

The way to make this work, however, is to plan to marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes in between. So you could do this the night before while the rest of your dinner cooks, and have it ready and marinated for dinner the next day. Or you could get your side dishes ready while the meat cooks.

But if you like meal planning, this is a great way to approach air fryer cooking.

This Air Fried Beef Satay is one of those mix, marinade, and cook recipes that make dinnertime a breeze. You can, of course, use this very same beef satay marinade to make chicken satay or pork satay. As long as you cut the meat up into bite-size chunks, you shouldn’t have a problem cooking it well all the way through.

Be sure to leave as much of the marinade behind in the bag as you can so you don’t have a lot of white smoke coming out of your air fryer as you cook the meat.

What Does Satay Mean?

Satay is simply a meal made up of seasoned grilled strips of meat that are served with a flavorful peanut dipping sauce. They are often served on a skewer.

What Does It Taste Like?

Beef Satay is the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and smokey. It’s an easy, flavorful recipe that pairs perfectly with a variety of side dishes because of the depth of flavor.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Beef Flank Steak - Thinly sliced into strips, it’s the star protein of the dish, perfect for soaking up the marinade and crisping beautifully in the air fryer.
  • Oil - Helps coat the beef for even cooking and prevents it from drying out.
  • Fish Sauce - Brings a salty, savory umami punch that’s essential in Southeast Asian flavors.
  • Soy Sauce - Adds depth, saltiness, and a touch of umami to balance the marinade.
  • Minced Ginger - Provides warm, zesty notes that cut through the richness of the beef.
  • Minced Garlic - Adds aromatic, savory flavor that infuses the meat.
  • Sugar - Balances the salty and spicy elements, while helping with caramelization.
  • Sriracha Sauce - Introduces heat and a touch of tangy spice to the marinade.
  • Ground Coriander - Offers earthy, citrusy undertones that complement the ginger and garlic.
  • Cilantro - Half is mixed into the marinade for freshness, while the rest is sprinkled on top for a bright finishing touch.
  • Roasted Peanuts - Provide a nutty crunch and traditional satay-style garnish.

How To Make Beef Satay In Your Air Fryer

I wrote this as an air fryer recipe, but you can also grill this outside if you prefer.

  1. Marinate. Place beef strips into a large bowl or a ziplock bag. Add oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar, Sriracha, coriander, and 1/4 cup cilantro to the beef and mix well. Marinate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Place in the basket. Using a set of tongs, place the beef strips in the air fryer basket, laying them side by side and minimizing overlap. Discard the marinade.
  3. Air fry. Set your air fryer to 400F for 8 minutes, flipping once halfway.
  4. Garnish and serve. Remove the meat to a serving tray, top with remaining 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and the chopped roasted peanuts. Serve with Easy Peanut Sauce.

Tips And Tricks For Delicious Beef Satay

This Satay recipe is so simple most of these tips and tricks seem like they would be common sense. But hey, who doesn’t want a recipe to come out perfect every time? Here are a few things that might help:

  • Marinate. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to get perfectly flavorful, tender meat.
  • Check Doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of your beef. Overcooking this recipe will dry it out.
  • Pick the right sides. Keep it low carb by serving over zoodles or riced cauliflower .
  • Add sauce. Add in a punch of flavor by dipping in my delicious Peanut Dipping Sauce .

Variations

When it comes to Air Fryer Beef Satay, you can get creative with the flavors and adapt the dish to different preferences or dietary needs. Here are some tasty variations to try:

  • Chicken - Swap the beef for thin strips of chicken breast or thighs for a lighter, leaner version.
  • Pork - Use pork tenderloin or shoulder strips for a juicy, flavorful twist.
  • Spicy - Increase the sriracha or add chili flakes for an extra kick of heat.
  • Peanut-Free - Skip the peanuts and top with toasted sesame seeds or crispy shallots for crunch.

How Long Does It Last?

Air Fryer Beef Satay can last for about 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator when stored properly in an airtight container.

Allow the beef to cool completely before refrigerating to prevent excess moisture from building up, which can make it soggy.

Can You Freeze It?

If you want to extend its shelf life, you can freeze beef satay for up to 2 months.

Simply wrap the skewers tightly in foil or store the strips in a freezer-safe bag or container, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.

When ready to enjoy again, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer or oven until warmed through.

There are some recipes I make that I just absolutely fall in love with and these Keto Gummy Bears are definitely one of them. Easy, absolutely adorable, and keto.

Milky Bears - 17

One of my favorite flavors to use in some of my desserts is pandan. It’s very similar to vanilla but has its own distinct taste. You can find it at any Asian grocery store and it’s not costly. I keep it around since I enjoy using it as often as possible.

Why Your Whole Family Will Love These Gummy Bears

  • Fast.
  • Easy.
  • Low Carb.
  • Fun!

What You’ll Need To Make These Keto Gummy Bears

Before you get started, make sure you have these ingredients in your kitchen.

Of course, you can always substitute the flavor of pandan with a different extract or use a different mold, but then are they even really gummy bears?

  • Gummy Bear Mold
  • Full-Fat Coconut Milk
  • Unflavored Gelatin
  • Truvia
  • Pandan Extract - You don’t have to use pandan for these Keto Milky Bears.

Bears made in that mold just taste better to me.

One important note that I would like to share about these Keto Milky Bears is that you don’t have to use the gummy bear mold if you don’t want to. I mean, it’s absolutely adorable which is why I love using it for this recipe, however, you can use any mold your heart desires.

I would just be sure to use a mold that makes them turn out in smaller portions rather than larger portions. For example, you don’t want to make this recipe the size of a cupcake, you’ll want it to be an easier snacking size.

Also, invest in the Pandan extract . You will thank me. I have several recipes that use pandan so you won’t have it sitting around for too long.

What Is Pandan

Pandan is a long, leafy green that’s found in Asia. It has a naturally sweet flavor and delicious aroma to it. That’s why it’s the perfect natural flavoring to use for these Keto Milky Bears. Not only is it a healthy, sweet flavoring that can be used in your dishes but, it’s a nice way to mix up your flavoring from time to time. You can try using it in place of your other extracts or even your vanilla if you want to explore a bit.

If you’ve never tried pandan before, that’s ok, most people have never even heard of it, much less tried it. This recipe is an easy one to try it and takes very little effort. These Keto Milky Bears are a delicious treat that curbs that sweet tooth craving while you’re trying to stay on track with your diet. These tasty little morsels won’t kill your diet and will even add a bit of nutrients to your day. Can you believe they only take five minutes to make?? I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Since most extracts and additional colors are going to be keto-friendly, you can use whichever combination of colors and extracts you like.

What Else Can I Use Pandan Extract For?

However, I definitely encourage you to try pandan since it’s absolutely divine. It’s similar to vanilla, as mentioned, but has its own flavor that I’m sure you’ll fall in love with. I have other recipes such as Coconut Pandan Chia Seed Pudding and Instant Pot Thai Coconut Pandan Custard that also uses this flavoring. Once you try pandan, you’ll understand my love for it.

Want More Low Carb Desserts?

  • These Keto Mint Brownies are amazing and taste just like an Andes Mint!
  • These Raspberry Cream Bombs are absolutely delicious and come together in just a few minutes!
  • If you love cinnamon sugar almonds but don’t love carbs, these Keto Candied Almonds are the answer to your woes. They’re deliciously sweet and low carb as well!
  • These Peanut Butter Fat Bombs are the perfect little treat to boost your fat intake while keeping it low carb.

Keto Gummy Bears | Keto Milky Bears

Equipment

  • GUMMY BEAR MOLD
  • GREENPAN SAUCEPANS
  • COOKIE SHEET
  • STAINLESS STEEL MEASURING CUPS
  • OVAL MEASURING SPOONS

Ingredients

  • ▢ 1 13.5 ounce ( 1 ) Full-Fat Coconut Milk
  • ▢ 2 packages ( 2 ) Unflavored Gelatin , (3 tablespoons)
  • ▢ 1/4 cup ( 62.5 g ) Water
  • ▢ 3 tablespoons ( 3 tablespoons ) Truvia
  • ▢ 2-3 drops ( 2 ) Pandan Extract

Instructions

  • Place 3 gummy bear molds on a cookie sheet. You will be making about 100 small little, cute bears with this recipe. If you do not have a mold, use any type of silicone mold for cupcakes or chocolates that you may have.
  • Place water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on the water. Set aside and allow it to soften.
  • Meanwhile, In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk, Truvia, and pandan extract. When you see the small bubbles starting to form on the side of the coconut milk, whisk in the softened gelatin. Whisk until all the granules are gone, and you have a smooth mixture. A flat or wire whisk can make this task a lot easier.
  • Using a dropper, fill a gummy bear mold with the coconut pandan mix. Move the cookie sheet to the refrigerator (this is the point you will thank me for having told you to use the cookie sheet. Moving a floppy mold full of liquid is not the most fun–unless you’re a doggy who got to lap up my mistake the first time I made these).
  • Allow the bears to set overnight and then pop them out of their molds. If you want them chewier, place them uncovered in the refrigerator for another 3-4 hours so they dry out a bit. If not, enjoy as is.
  • Makes 100 bears, a serving is 10 bears.
