Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 1/2 lbs Sirloin or Flank Steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup Roasted Peanuts, finely ground
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Bouillon Powder (Beef or Chicken)
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 large Red Onion, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the ground peanuts, ginger, cayenne, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, bouillon, and salt to create the Yaji (Suya) spice mix.

  3. 3

    Place the beef cubes in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Generously coat the beef with the Yaji spice mixture, pressing the spices into the meat to ensure they adhere.

  5. 5

    Thread the seasoned beef and red onion chunks onto the skewers, alternating between meat and onion.

  6. 6

    Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grate with the remaining oil.

  7. 7

    Grill the kabobs for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness and the spices form a fragrant crust.

  8. 8

    Let the kabobs rest for 5 minutes before serving with extra Yaji spice and sliced raw onions on the side.
