Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef sirloin
- 0.5 cup ground peanuts (or peanut flour)
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 0.5 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground peanuts, paprika, cayenne pepper, ginger powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground coriander, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add olive oil to the spice mixture to create a paste-like consistency.
Add the sliced beef strips to the bowl and toss until all pieces are well-coated with the spice paste.
Thread the beef strips onto the soaked skewers, leaving some space between pieces for even cooking.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the beef skewers on the grill, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the beef is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the beef suya hot, optionally with fresh vegetable garnishes or a side salad.
