Begin by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick and 4 inches long.
In a large bowl, combine ground roasted peanuts, paprika, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and the crumbled bouillon cube. Mix well to create the suya spice mix.
Add the beef strips to the bowl with the suya spice mix. Use your hands to thoroughly coat each strip with the spice blend.
Thread the seasoned beef strips onto the soaked skewers in a wave pattern, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and lime juice. Use this mixture to lightly brush over the threaded beef skewers to help retain moisture.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the beef skewers on the grill grates. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked through and the exterior is slightly charred.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the Beef Suya hot with sliced onions and fresh lime wedges if desired. Enjoy this flavorful and gluten-free dish as an appetizer or main course.
