Method

Trim fat from camel porterhouse and carefully slice 2 – 4 mm thin slices about 8 – 10 cm long. Thread each slice onto a skewer and season with salt, white pepper and lemon myrtle. Set aside until ready to cook.

Sauce
In a pan over moderate heat add some peanut oil and when hot add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the garlic, chili and the ginger and cook for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add coconut milk, beer and peanut butter and stir or whisk until well combined then add the soy and the sugar and stir then the lemon juice and half the coriander. Save the other half for garnish later.

Spoon off any oil that rises to the top and if need be you can add a little water to thin the sauce out.

Slaw
The slaw was made from veggies grown in the vietnamese garden.
1 bok choy – very finely slice the leaves and very finely slice the stalks lengthwise
½ long chinese radish – very finely julienned 7 – 8 cm long
3 radishes - unpeeled but washed and very finely julienned
1 ruby red grapefruit – segmented reserving all the juice for the mayo dressing – chop segments into small cubes
10 mint leaves finely sliced
¼ cup of cashews lightly crushed for garnish.

Combine bok choy, both of the julienned radishes, mint and half or so of the grapefruit segments into a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Add 4 – 6 tbls of the dressing and mix again. Put the slaw in a serving plate and garnish some more of the grapefruit and the cashews.

Dressing
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and give them a good mix. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.

All Together Now
Cook the camel skewers on a hot grill until cooked – just a couple of minutes each side. Arrange the cooked skewers around the slaw and drizzle with the satay sauce. Serve some of the satay sauce on the side for extra dipping.
