This is my take on Suya, grilled beef skewers from West Africa. Sirloin steak is marinated in a quick and easy marinade that is extremely delicious and perfect for cooking on the grill.

- yellow onion: 0.5 piece (grated)
- tomato paste: 2 Tbsp

Stages of cooking
-
Combine peanut butter, grated onion, tomato paste, olive oil, salt, paprika, allspice, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper, and powdered ginger in a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
-
Add steak pieces to the marinade bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
-
Preheat an outdoor grill with coal for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
Thread marinated steak pieces onto large metal skewers.
-
Grill over the hot white coals until desired doneness, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Chef John Cook's Note: Garnish beef skewers with red onions, lime wedges, green onions, chopped cilantro, and chopped peanuts if desired.
