Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 100 g (3.5oz) roasted peanuts
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- Salt
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 250 g (8.8oz) beef (sirloin steak or venison steak, finely sliced)
- 2 tbsp groundnut oil
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Shredded cabbage
- Chopped tomatoes
- Fried plantains
Instructions
- 1
Add the peanuts, ginger, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and nutmeg to a blender and blend for a minute or so until it forms a coarse powder. Careful not to blend too much to avoid the peanuts turning into peanut butter. Transfer the suya powder onto a flat surface and spread it out.
- 2
Brush the beef slices with the oil, and dab both sides of the meat sliced in the suya powder so that they are well coated.
- 3
Pre heat the grill (or barbeque), and grill the meat for up to 15 mins (or until done), making sure to turn the meat half way through cooking.
- 4
Serve the meat warm, topped with the onion, cabbage, tomatoes and plantains.
