Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef (sirloin or flank steak)
• 0.5 cup Ground roasted peanuts
• 2 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cube Bouillon cube (gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 10 Skewers (wooden or metal)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick and 4 inches long.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine ground roasted peanuts, paprika, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and the crumbled bouillon cube. Mix well to create the suya spice mix.

Step 4

Add the beef strips to the bowl with the suya spice mix. Use your hands to thoroughly coat each strip with the spice blend.

Step 5

Thread the seasoned beef strips onto the soaked skewers in a wave pattern, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and lime juice. Use this mixture to lightly brush over the threaded beef skewers to help retain moisture.

Step 7

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the beef skewers on the grill grates. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked through and the exterior is slightly charred.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Serve the Beef Suya hot with sliced onions and fresh lime wedges if desired. Enjoy this flavorful and gluten-free dish as an appetizer or main course.
