Method

To Marinade
1

Knead the tamarind pulp and water together until it forms a thick, murky liquid.

2

Strain and discard the fibrous pulp.

3

Put the liquid into a blender or food processor with the coriander, cumin, lemongrass, sweet soy sauce, sugar, turmeric and oil and process until smooth.

4

Cut the steaks into long thin slices.

5

Toss with the marinade and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

To Make Satay Sauce
1

Stir all the ingredients together over a low heat until warm.

2

Thin with extra water if required.

To Make Dish
1

Heat a little oil in a wok or frying-pan and stir-fry the lamb over a moderately high heat for 7-8 minutes, tossing regularly until cooked (if cooked in a frying-pan, it's best done in batches to prevent the lamb from stewing). Set aside.

2

Add an extra dash of oil and stir-fry the garlic, chilli, ginger, spring onion, red capsicums and snow peas until crisp and tender.

3

Add the bean sprouts, lamb and herbs and toss well.

4

Serve in flat breads or in bowls with creamy satay sauce.
