What is satay?

The Kebab from Asia
Satay (or Saté) is originally an Indonesian dish, but over the years it has grown in popularity across Asia and into the Western World. Traditionally, Satay is made with strips of beef or chicken threaded onto bamboo skewers and served with a peanut based dipping sauce. However, as it spread pork, seafood, and vegetables found their way onto these bamboo sticks, and a variety of sauces came along.
Now just because Satay is cooked over a live fire doesn't mean it's the same as kebabs. Yes, you can do a lot with Satay these days, but it's not the same, trust me. Whereas the traditional American kebabs will have cubes of meat and vegetables like, onions, tomatoes, squash and potatoes, Satay made from long strips of meat. The meat is threaded onto skewers not to make a nice little package of a meal, but to make it easier to handle and to spread the meat out for even cooking.

Satay is popular for many reasons. The flavorful sauces can be sweet, hot or just delicious. The handy form makes them great not only as a meal, but also as an appetizer. In many parts of the world you can find stands that dish up Satay as a quick snack, literally like Asian fast food. The global popularity of Satay is largely due to the fact that it is easy to make and is highly portable. The popularity of Satay in the United States goes back over half a century and is evident in the 1959 Kaiser Aluminum National Cookout Championship where several of the final recipes were for some variation of Satay.

Meat on a stick, basically. Common appertizer at Thai restaraunts.

Its usually a thin strip , possibly marinated in something & the skewer is sort of weaved through it.
I am not fond of it, the beef seems tough & the chicken undercooked, but that could just be the plces I've been to. I'm not sure how exactly it is prepared.

Darn it. Now I want thai food.

Basically meat on a skewer with tasty sauces.
Yummy!
