Cut the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide and 2-3 inches long.
In a large bowl, combine ground peanuts, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the beef strips to the spice mixture, coating each piece thoroughly.
Cover the bowl and allow the beef to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto wooden skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Brush the skewers lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side until the beef is thoroughly cooked and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and squeeze fresh lime juice over them before serving.
Serve the Soy-Free Beef Suya with additional lime wedges for garnish.
