Suya

Ingredients

Beef or chicken

1 pound, thinly sliced

Skewers

8-10 (soaked in water if wooden)

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon

Onion powder

1 teaspoon

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Paprika

2 teaspoons

Cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon (adjust for spice preference)

Unsalted peanuts

1/2 cup, ground into a fine powder

Cucumber

1, sliced for garnish

Tomatoes

2, sliced for garnish

Onion

1, sliced for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the ground peanuts, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to create the suya spice mix. Mix well until combined.
2. Take the thinly sliced beef or chicken and thread them onto the skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper cooking.
3. Brush the skewered meat generously with vegetable oil. Evenly coat all sides of the meat with the suya spice mix, pressing it onto the surface to adhere well.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's nice and hot before placing the skewers on it.
5. Grill the skewered meat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Cook until the meat is charred on the outside and cooked through.
6. Once grilled, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Serve the suya skewers garnished with sliced onions, tomatoes, and cucumber on the side. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and spice!
