Resep Sate Buntel khas Solo dan Surakarta. Sate buntel derived from the Indonesian word sate (pronounced: satay); a grilled skewered meat dish, while buntel means wrapped bump or parcel. Sate Buntel or caul fat wrapped kebab is originally from Solo or Surakarta, Central Java, but it also commonly found in Yogyakarta. It’s made from minced beef or goat, the minced fatty meats are wrapped by thin fat or muscle membrane and wrapped around a bamboo skewer. Sate buntel is a seasoned fatty minced meat (usually beef, lamb or goat meat) wrapped in a lamb omentum or caul fat and wrapped surround a relatively large bamboo skewer. The appearance of the parcel is quite large and bumped in the middle, that’s why it’s called buntel. The most popular sate buntel was sold in Tambak Segaran, Solo. Sate buntel Tambak Segaran very special because the minced meat was very mild, tender and juicy because they use a 3-5 months old young goat or lamb, beside they quite generous with spices and this made the dish drolling worthy.
Resep sate buntel dengan sambal kecap manis. Sate buntel usually served with sambal kecap manis or hot and spicy Indonesian sweet soy sauce dip. After being grilled on charcoal, the skewer removed from sate buntel and then the meat is cut into bite-size chunks, then served with the sambal kecap manis. Several times i try sate buntel, the sweet soy sauce usually well seasoned too because, beside the obviously white peppercorn dust on it, i can taste the hint of nutmeg and cinnamon on it. Once i asked the seller he said that the kecap manis or sweet soy sauce was homemade with secret recipe. The sambal kecap manis usually consist of kecap manis, chopped chilli pepper, red shallots, onion and tomato, but if you like chopped nuts like cashew or peanut made it lovely even more.
Sate buntel or caul fat wrappped lamb kebab usually stuffed with lamb or goat meat from the belly and leg. Minced lamb or meat stuffing has to be fatty instead it will be tought and dry. The common ratio of fat and meat on burger, kebab, sheftalia or other processed meat is 1:5 or roughly about 20% of fat on it. Young sheep or goat (3-5 months old) is preferred for it’s mild flavour and also tender texture. I also add the trimming excess meat and soft tissue from making my homemade lamb pancetta that i’ll publish later on.
My sister insist to add some chicken leg meat on the to reduce the gamey flavour, even i told him that the spring lamb itself already got a mild gamey aromas, but you know; it’s kinda chick’s thing. I actually like my lamb tast like lamb, i’m not being offensive but if you want your lamb taste like chicken, why you purchase the lamb in the first place. Heavy spice usually added to seasoned the sate buntel, it’s a typically indonesian cuisine. Beside finelly chopped red shallots and garlic which is staple in all indonesian dishes, a lot of toasted and ground corriander, pepper and nutmeg. Authentic sate buntel filling usually manually minced with chopping knive, but i just too lazy do it, so then i let my chopper do the magic for me.
Caul Fat is the essential ingredients of sate buntel, caul fat is a transparent and natural thin membrane which surrounds the stomach internal organs of some animals, such as cows, sheep, and pigs, also known as the greater omentum. Caul fat also known as lace fat, mesentery, crépine or fat netting. You can ask the buther for it, he might give it for free actually. The sheep or lamb caul usually had huge chunks of fat in it and was very cumbersome, different from the semi-transparent, thin, lacy and beautiful pig or pork caul fat. Before using sheep or lamb caul fat, you can remove the big chunk of the fat by removing the thin membrane on one side and left the meaining thin membrane in the other side.

Sate buntel itukan daging cincang kak, jd lemaknya dicincang buat dicampurin ke isiannya kak, terus isiannya dilapisi lembaran membran lemak perut kambing, baru dibakar deh
