Attributes:	Grill, Quick and Easy, Healthy
Comments:	If using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water for a half hour or so first. This is the best "easy" peanut dipping sauce we've ever encountered. It uses sugar substitutes, but is still great. We use it for coconut shrimp and pork saute too!
Serving Suggestions:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup soy sauce (light, if possible), divided
2 tbs. granulated brown sugar substitute (Sugar Twin), divided
2 tbs. sugar substitute (Splenda), divided
4 cloves garlic, pressed, divided
1-1/2 pounds sirloin steak, 1-1/2" thick, cut into 1" pieces
1/2 cup creamy unsweetened natural peanut butter
3/4 cup water
3 tbs. lime juice
1 tbs. finely chopped ginger
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 green bell pepper, cut into squares
1 red bell pepper, cut into squares
1 large onion, cut into wedges

Instructions:

1. In a shallow dish, combine half of the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon of the sugar substitute, and 2 of the pressed garlic cloves. Add the steak pieces and stir to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice.

2. Meantime, in a heavy saucepan over high heat, combine the peanut butter, water, lime juice, ginger, ground red pepper, the remaining half of the soy sauce, the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar substitute, the remaining 1 tablespoon of the sugar substitute, and the remaining 2 cloves of pressed garlic. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture boils. Remove from the heat.

3. Coat a grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill to high.

4. Thread the steak, peppers, and onion onto skewers. Place on the grill rack and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until steak is done. Serve with peanut sauce.
