Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef (sirloin or flank steak)
• 1 cup Unsalted peanuts
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 10 pieces Skewers

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the beef. Cut the beef into thin strips of about half an inch thick and two inches long to easily fit on skewers. Set aside.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the unsalted peanuts, cayenne pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground coriander. Pulse until the peanuts are finely ground and mixed well with the spices.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut-spice mix and the beef strips. Add the vegetable oil and fresh lemon juice to the mix. Stir well to coat the beef evenly ensuring each piece is well coated in the spice mix.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the meat marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate overnight.

Step 5

While the meat marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 6

Once marinated, thread the beef strips onto the skewers, keeping each piece about half an inch apart to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Low Sodium Beef Suya warm, garnished with extra lemon slices and a side of fresh vegetables or salad.
