Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, toss 1 lb beef sirloin cubes with 3 tbsp suya spice mix and 2 tbsp vegetable oil until the meat is evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Thread the marinated beef cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, distributing meat evenly.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred on the edges and cooked to medium doneness.
Step 4: Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp water, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp chili flakes in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Serve the suya-spiced beef kebabs hot with the peanut dipping sauce on the side for a smoky, spicy, nutty bite.
