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
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Step 2
Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin and cut into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 2 to 3 inches long.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the vegetable oil to the spice mixture and stir well to form a thick, smooth paste.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Thread the marinated beef slices onto the soaked skewers.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the beef suya hot, along with sliced onions, tomatoes, or a side of your choice.
