Veal Satay
Veal skewers with a peanut dipping sauce

Veal Satay

Veal Satay is a quick and easy recipe that can be done in less than 30 minutes. This dish would be great to make as an appetizer, for game day, a party, or even for camping. You can never go wrong with food on a stick!
Wooden skewers, like the classic bamboo skewers pictured above, can burn easily over a hot grill. Soaking them in warm water for somewhere between 10 to 30 minutes before threading them will keep the skewers from cooking along with the food. The meat on the skewers themselves have a nice flavor, so the dipping sauce is not a must. But it does give the dish an extra flavor boost. Make lots because this dish is a big hit and the plate will be cleared fast!
