Cooking With Beer – All Day IPA Peanut Curry Chicken Satay

(Courtesy Founders Brewing)

Festive foods take on new meaning when made with serious craft beer. And Founders Brewing has a session IPA that’s a Jack-of-all-trades when it comes to cooking with beer.

We recently featured Founders Brewing’s popular All Day IPA, a 4.7% ABV Session India Pale Ale, in a mac & cheese dish that’s terrific, a crab cake recipe that nails it, a serious soup dish and even in lemon bars.

But it also makes for a tasty chicken satay marinade…

The original recipe, which came our way from Justin Golinski Culinary Director at Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids, Michigan was made with Founder’s Mosaic Promise, a single-hop Pale Ale which is currently on hold at the brewery…So we substituted Founders All Day IPA and it did the trick.

So let’s do this…

All Day IPA Peanut Curry Chicken Satay

Ingredients

4-6 chicken tenderloins (bigger is better)
1.5 cans All Day IPA
1 cup peanut butter (crunchy is preferred)
1 can coconut milk (13.5 fl. oz.)
5 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons turmeric
2 teaspoons red chili paste
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Cooked lentils or rice & pickled fennel for serving.
Skewers (for skewering)

Directions

Put your tenderloins in a mixing bowl, and add 1 bottle of Mosaic Promise and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Set aside for at least half an hour.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients.
Start up your grill, and set to medium/medium-high heat. Oil up those grates.
Skewer up the tenderloins, and paint with Peanut Butter Curry Sauce.
Put the skewers on the grill, and apply curry sauce as needed, maybe even reserve a little for dipping. Grill for approximately 10 minutes, or until cooked thoroughly.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over cooked lentils or rice with pickled fennel (for extra flair)!
