Instructions

Step 1: Trim beef of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes. In a food processor, blend ground peanuts, ginger, 1 scotch bonnet pepper (seeds removed), onion, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, and 1 tbsp palm oil until a smooth paste forms.
Step 2: Place beef cubes in a bowl, add 3/4 of the peanut paste, and mix until evenly coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature.
Step 3: Thread beef cubes onto metal skewers, leaving space between pieces. Brush skewers with remaining peanut paste and 1 tbsp palm oil.
Step 4: Grill skewers over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until beef is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Step 5: While beef grills, brush corn cobs with 1 tbsp palm oil and grill for 5 minutes per side until kernels are tender and slightly blackened.
Step 6: For the sauce, blend remaining peanut paste, 1 tbsp lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Garnish skewers with fresh cilantro and serve with grilled corn and peanut sauce on the side.
