Nigerian Beef Suya

Ingredients

• 2 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup roasted unsalted peanuts, finely ground
• 2 tbsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 whole fresh lime wedges
• ½ medium onion sliced red onions
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Thread beef cubes onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.

2. 2

   In a shallow bowl, combine ground peanuts, cayenne, paprika, ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3. 3

   Brush beef skewers with oil and season with salt. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

4. 4

   Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until beef is charred on edges and cooked to medium (internal temp 160°F).

5. 5

   While beef is still hot, roll each skewer in the suya spice mixture, coating generously on all sides. The heat will help the coating adhere.

6. 6

   Transfer suya to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced red onions.

7. 7

   Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the skewers.
