Cut zebu meat into bite-sized pieces and thread onto skewers.

In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, brown sugar, and coconut milk to create marinade.

Add chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the marinade, mixing well.

Place skewers in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them, ensuring meat is well-coated.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Remove skewers from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Brush grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until meat is cooked through and slightly charred.

Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
