Instructions
Step 1
Gather the ingredients.Step 2
If using wooden satay sticks, set them in water to soak while you prepare the satay (this will keep them from burning).Step 3
Cut the pork into thin strips that are approximately 1 to 3 inches wide.Step 4
Combine all other ingredients to make a marinade, stirring well to dissolve the honey. Taste the marinade. This marinade should taste both sweet and salty; if you'd prefer it to be spicier, add more cayenne pepper.Step 5
Pour marinade over the pork. Stir the meat well and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.Step 6
When ready to cook, skewer the meat, weaving it lengthwise along the stick. Position the meat near one end of the stick, leaving the other half as a handle for turning.Step 7
Brush grill grates with oil and then lay satay on the grill for 5 to 7 minutes, or until meat sizzles and browns. Turn sticks and grill the other side another 5 minutes, or until cooked but still tender.
