Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb beef sirloin cubes with 3 tbsp suya spice mix, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, and 1 tsp salt. Toss well to evenly coat the beef. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare the peanut dipping sauce by whisking together 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup hot water, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with hot water as needed.
- Step 3: Thread the marinated beef cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, dividing evenly.
- Step 4: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully, until the beef is cooked to medium-rare and has a smoky char.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve the skewers hot alongside the peanut dipping sauce.
