Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, meticulously combine the ground roasted peanuts, ground cayenne pepper, ground paprika, salt, ground ginger, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ensure a harmonious blend of these aromatic spices. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepTransfer the spice mixture and beef to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag tightly, and shake vigorously until each piece of beef is generously coated with the vibrant spice blend. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (Marinating time: 30 minutes - 2 hours)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepThread the marinated beef, bell pepper, onion, and mushroom pieces onto skewers in an alternating order, creating visually appealing and flavorful kebabs. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
05
StepCarefully place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook, flipping once halfway through, until the meat is beautifully browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp. This should take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. (Cook time: 10-15 minutes)
06
StepRemove the Suya skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful kebab.
