Ingredients
- 500 g Beef sirloin
- 50 g Ground peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 8 Metal or bamboo skewers
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 2-3 inches long. Place the strips in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, combine ground peanuts, ground ginger, ground paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix the spices well to create the suya seasoning.
Step 3
Sprinkle the suya seasoning over the beef strips, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use your hands to massage the spices into the meat.
Step 4
Add vegetable oil and lime juice to the bowl of beef, tossing to combine everything thoroughly. Allow the beef to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
If you're using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Step 6
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated beef onto the skewers.
Step 7
Place the beef skewers on the grill and cook each side for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and has a nice char on the surface.
Step 8
Remove the beef suya skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the low carb beef suya hot with a side of sliced onions and fresh cucumber for extra freshness.
