Sate klatak

Sate Klatak is a unique variant of satay, a popular dish in Indonesia. Unlike other types of satay, which are typically marinated and served with a sauce, Sate Klatak is served without any marinade or sauce. The name "klatak" is derived from the sound of the meat being flipped on the grill.

Origin

Sate Klatak originated from Yogyakarta, a city known for its rich cultural and culinary heritage. It was traditionally served by street vendors, who would grill the meat on the spot and serve it fresh to customers. Today, it can be found in restaurants and food stalls across the country.

Preparation

The main ingredient in Sate Klatak is mutton, although it can also be made with chicken or beef. The meat is cut into small pieces and skewered on iron sticks, which are different from the bamboo skewers commonly used in other types of satay. The iron sticks help to cook the meat evenly and give it a distinctive flavor.

The meat is then grilled over charcoal without any marinade, allowing the natural flavors of the meat to shine through. It is typically served with rice, sambal, and a slice of lime.

Variations

While the traditional Sate Klatak is served without any sauce, some variations include a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, chili, and shallots. Some versions also include kecap manis, a sweet soy sauce that adds a hint of sweetness to the dish.
