1 pound ground beef chuck or sirloin (lean)
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fresh
2 shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
4 teaspoons coriander, ground
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, or more to taste
2/3 cup soy sauce, sweet (ketjap manis) or 1/3 cup each regular soy sauce and molasses

1. Combine the ground beef, cilantro, shallots, garlic, 2 teaspoons of the coriander, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor and process until well blended. To test for seasoning, sauté a small amount of the mixture in a nonstick skillet until cooked through, then taste, adding salt and pepper to the remaining mixture as necessary.

2. Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Lightly wet your hands with cold water. Take a handful (3 to 4 tablespoons) of the meat mixture and mold it onto a skewer or Popsicle stick to form a flat sausage shape about 3 inches long, 3/4 inch wide, and 1/2 inch thick. Continue until all the mixture is used up, placing the satés as they are made on the prepared baking sheet (see Note).

3. Prepare a glaze by stirring the sweet soy sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons coriander in a shallow dish. Set aside.

4. Preheat the grill to high.

5. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the satés on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, for 2 minutes per side (4 minutes in all). Remove them from the grill and roll them lightly in the sweet soy glaze, then return to the grill and continue cooking until nicely browned on the outside and cooked through, an additional 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

Serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer, 2 as an entrée

Note: If not planning to cook immediately, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
