Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 50 grams Ground peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 pieces Skewers
- 1 whole Lime wedges
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into thin strips, around 1/4-inch thick, for even cooking and easier marination.
In a bowl, combine ground peanuts, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, salt, and ground black pepper to make the suya spice mix.
Add the beef strips to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to ensure the beef is well coated.
Sprinkle the suya spice mix over the oiled beef strips, ensuring that each strip is generously coated with the spice.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto skewers, folding them over as needed to fit.
Grill the beef skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Ensure they are properly spiced and cooked evenly.
Serve the Keto Beef Suya hot, accompanied by fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the skewers before eating.
