Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin steak
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seed butter
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 unit fresh lime
- 10 units bamboo skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Cut the beef sirloin steak into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 2-3 inches long.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sunflower seed butter, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and vegetable oil to make the suya spice mix.
Add the beef strips to the suya spice mix, ensuring that each strip is thoroughly coated. Allow this mixture to marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, distributing them evenly.
Grill the beef skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness, and have a nice char on the edges.
While the beef is grilling, cut the fresh lime into wedges.
Once cooked, remove the beef suya skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the beef suya hot, garnished with lime wedges. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the skewers just before eating for added flavor.
