Ingredients
- 600 grams beef sirloin steak
- 100 grams ground peanuts
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Step 2
Thinly slice the beef sirloin steak against the grain to ensure tender strips. Aim for slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine ground peanuts, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to create the suya spice blend.
Step 4
Take each beef strip and coat it generously with the suya spice blend on both sides.
Step 5
Carefully thread the beef strips onto the soaked skewers, ensuring they are secure.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the skewered beef to the pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the beef is cooked through and has a nice char.
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the beef suya hot, paired with your choice of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
