Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams beef sirloin steak
- 100 grams ground peanuts
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Thinly slice the beef sirloin steak against the grain to ensure tender strips. Aim for slices about 1/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, combine ground peanuts, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to create the suya spice blend.
Take each beef strip and coat it generously with the suya spice blend on both sides.
Carefully thread the beef strips onto the soaked skewers, ensuring they are secure.
Heat the coconut oil in a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the skewered beef to the pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the beef is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the beef suya hot, paired with your choice of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
