Method

7 steps. Tap one to mark it done.

  1. Create the suya spice by processing the kulikuli, alligator pepper, and calabash nutmeg inside a spice grinder to a fine powder. Combine this mixture with the garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, cayenne pepper, crushed bouillon cubes, and salt.

  2. Carve the soft beef cut into broad, thin slices. If necessary, pound the meat with a meat mallet to make it flatter.

  3. Combine the beef in a bowl with vegetable oil, onion powder, garlic powder, crushed bouillon cubes, and salt to marinate. Allow the mixture to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes.

  4. Thread the seasoned beef strips onto skewers, weaving them in a flat manner.

  5. Thoroughly cover the skewered meat with your prepared suya spice, pushing the seasoning down so it adheres to the beef.

  6. Cook the skewers on a medium-hot grill, or bake them in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, rotating them once, until fully cooked and beautifully charred on the edges.

  7. Serve the hot skewers accompanied by sliced onions, tomatoes, cucumber, and additional suya spice.
