16 - 10-inch wooden or bamboo skewers

1 cup heavy cream
1/2 small onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves, chopped
4 teaspoons curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (8 ounces), cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 rib-eye steak ( 8 ounces) cut into 1/2 inch strips

Dipping Sauce
1/3 cup sugar-free peanut butter
1/3 cup water
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 packet sugar substitute

Soak skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes. In a blender, combine cream, onion, garlic, curry powder, cumin, cayenne and salt; blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and add chicken and beef strips; toss to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature about 15 minutes.

Make dipping sauce: In a blender, combine ingredients and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. (Sauce can be prepared up to 2 days ahead, covered and refrigerated.)

Heat broiler. Thread chicken and beef strips on skewers without crowding. Place on an oiled rack in a broiler pan and broil until cooked through, turning once, about 5 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce.
