Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin steak
• 3 tablespoons sunflower seed butter
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 unit fresh lime
• 10 units bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the beef sirloin steak into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 2-3 inches long.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sunflower seed butter, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and vegetable oil to make the suya spice mix.

Step 4

Add the beef strips to the suya spice mix, ensuring that each strip is thoroughly coated. Allow this mixture to marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, distributing them evenly.

Step 7

Grill the beef skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness, and have a nice char on the edges.

Step 8

While the beef is grilling, cut the fresh lime into wedges.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the beef suya skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 10

Serve the beef suya hot, garnished with lime wedges. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the skewers just before eating for added flavor.
