method
1. Slice the beef into long, narrow strips and thread, zig-zag style, on 12 bamboo skewers. Put them on a flat plate and set aside.
2. Dry-fry coriander seeds, cumin seeds and cashew nuts in a preheated wok until evenly brown. Transfer to a mortar and crush with a pestle or crush finely in a food processor. Mix together the crushed spices and nuts, vegetable oil, shallots or onion, ginger, garlic, tamarind sauce, soy sauce, sugar and vinegar. Spoon this mixture over the beef and set aside to marinate for up to 8 hours.
3. Cook the steak skewers under a preheated grill/broiler for 6 - 8 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure an even colour.
4. Meanwhile, make the mango dip. Peel the mango and cut the flesh from the stone. Place in a food processor with the chillies, fish sauce, lime juice and sugar and process until smooth. Stir in the coriander and season with salt to taste. Serve the skewers on a bed of salad leaves, with the sauce separately.
