    Preparation Steps

    1

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the peanut flour, Hungarian sweet paprika, ground cayenne pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder, dried onion powder, and salt. This will be your Suya spice mix.

    3

    Toss the thinly sliced beef with the lemon juice and olive oil, ensuring the meat is well coated.

    4

    Dip the beef slices into the spice mix, making sure both sides are evenly coated.

    5

    Thread the spiced beef slices onto the skewers, ensuring the slices do not overlap too much.

    6

    Grill the skewers over hot charcoal or on a grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning frequently, until the meat is tender and nicely browned.

    7

    Before serving, sprinkle the skewers with a little extra spice mix and serve with fresh vegetables or salad.
