Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, toss 1 lb beef sirloin cubes with 3 tbsp suya spice mix, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, and 1 tsp salt until well coated; marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare the peanut dipping sauce by whisking together 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup hot water, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes in a small bowl until smooth and creamy; set aside.
  3. Step 3: Thread the marinated beef cubes onto 8 soaked skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
  4. Step 4: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning until the beef is charred on the edges and cooked to desired doneness.
  5. Step 5: Serve the grilled suya beef skewers hot with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
