Preparation

Step 1
Combine turmeric, cumin, fennel, lemon zest, sugar, salt and coconut milk in a medium bowl. Add the beef and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak 12 8-inch bamboo skewers in water.
Step 2
Preheat the broiler. Thread about 4 cubes of meat onto each skewer, leaving the bottom half bare. Place the skewers on a broiler tray and broil, turning, until the meat is browned on all sides, about 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately with chili-and-peanut sauce.
