Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 50 grams Ground peanut powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin and cut into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 2 to 3 inches long.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened peanut butter, ground ginger, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground peanut powder, and salt.
Add the vegetable oil to the spice mixture and stir well to form a thick, smooth paste.
Marinate the beef slices in the spice paste, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef slices onto the soaked skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the beef suya hot, along with sliced onions, tomatoes, or a side of your choice.
