Instructions

Slice your chosen protein into strips and place them in a bowl.
Blend all marinade ingredients until smooth.
Pour the marinade over the protein strips, ensuring full coverage.
Add onion (if desired), toss, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 24 hours; soak wooden skewers for 10 minutes prior to use.
Thread the protein onto skewers, reserving the leftover marinade.
If grilling: Oil the grill, then cook skewers over a hot fire, rotating and basting with reserved marinade until all sides are lightly browned.
If broiling: Preheat the broiler. Arrange skewered satay on a parchment-lined baking sheet on a high rack. Broil for 5 minutes per side, turning and basting with reserved marinade until browned and any onions are lightly charred.
