Satay is a great Indonesian street food that has been regarded as one of best Indonesian culinary treasure. Most often made with chicken, beef or lamb, satay is commonly served with sambal kacang a spicy peanut sauce, and acar ketimun, a simple cucumber pickle.

Another much loved Indonesian meat dishes is Rendang (beef simmered in coconut milk), originated in the Padang cuisine of west-central Sumatra.
