Make the sauce
In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, chili garlic sauce or sambal, soy sauce or tamari, brown sugar, hot water, lime juice, rice vinegar and fish sauce. Stir to combine and break up any lumps. Drizzle in additional hot water until the sauce has the consistency of yogurt. How much water you add depends on the type of peanut butter you use and how thick you’d like your peanut sauce to be. The sauce may thicken as it sits, but you can add more hot water and whisk again until you achieve your desired consistency. Set aside.

Thread the steak
Weave 2 slices of steak on each skewer, piercing the slices two or three times to secure them. You will have about 12 skewers. Slide the steak up and down the skewer so it is evenly distributed with no very thick or very thin sections.

Position the first batch of skewers
With tongs, place 6 skewers across the hot grill from right to left, leaving a little space between each skewer for air to circulate. Close the door.
