Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 pound of beef sirloin cubes with 2 tablespoons of suya spice mix and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly, then cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Step 2: While the beef marinates, prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 minced garlic clove, 3 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust water to desired consistency.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, spacing them evenly.
Step 4: Grill the beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the exterior is charred and the beef reaches medium doneness.
Step 5: Remove from grill, let rest for 3 minutes, then serve warm with the prepared peanut sauce for dipping.
