Pork Satay with Peanut Sauce

1In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, and red pepper over medium-high heat.

2Whisk often until smooth and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.

3Remove from heat and keep warm.

4Preheat oven broiler to high.

5Cut pork crosswise into 3 equal portions (each should be 3-4 inches long).

6With a long, sharp knife, cut pieces lengthwise into slices about 1/4-inch thick.

7Lay slices out in a single layer in a nonstick broiler pan.

8In a small bowl, mix together remaining soy sauce, sugar, and garlic.

9Using a small spoon spread half of the sugar mixture in a thin layer over meat slices.

10Broil meat 6 inches from heat until well browned (sugar will brown quickly), 2-3 minutes.

11With tongs, turn meat over.

12Spread with remaining sugar mixture and return to broiler.

13Broil until browned and meat is no longer pink in center (cut to test), about 2 more minutes.

14Transfer meat to a serving platter and spoon peanut sauce into a bowl. Offer sauce to add to meat to taste.
