Preparation Steps
1
Cut the beef into thin, long slices and set aside.
2
In a bowl, combine the ground peanuts, Hungarian sweet paprika, cayenne pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to create a flavorful spice rub.
3
Coat the beef with olive oil, then dredge it in the spiced peanut mixture, ensuring it's well coated on all sides.
4
Thread the beef slices onto the skewers. Let them rest for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5
Preheat your grill or prepare a charcoal grill. Place the skewers on the grill rack and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until the beef is nicely charred and cooked through.
6
Serve the Suya hot, with fresh salad or bread. Garnish with extra ground peanut powder, if desired.
