Hey everyone, it is Louise, welcome to our recipe site. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, suya. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Suya is one of the most well liked of current trending foods on earth. It is appreciated by millions every day. It is easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. They are fine and they look fantastic. Suya is something which I have loved my whole life.
These savory kebabs, known as suya, are a tasty meal sold in Nigeria by street vendors made with tri steak, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. One of my favorite memories of Nigeria was Suya. It was sold beside the road, a nigerian vendor with sticks of meat over a brazier. They servied it with a piece of paper and cayenne pepper.
To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have suya using 4 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Suya:
- Prepare 1/2 kg Beef
- Prepare 2 cups Suya spice (Dried peppers, ginger, garlic, groundnuts)
- Get 100 ml vegetable oil (odourless)
- Prepare 15 suya sticks
It is a dish of grilled beef (or other meats) which are rubbed with a spice mixture called yaji, thought to have powerful, invigorating properties. If you are in Nigeria, it will be much easier for you to walk or drive to your favorite Suya Mallam popularly known as Mai Suya and buy the Nigerian Suya made from his own trademark blend of Suya spices. We also have Chicken Suya and Ram Suya. Feel free to prepare suya with your favourite meats: lamb, pork etc.
Instructions to make Suya:
- Soak the Suya sticks in cold water for at least 5 hours. This ensures that the sticks do not burn during the roasting of the Suya.
- Wash and cut the beef into very thin fillets. - - Usually, if you freeze the beef a little bit, it makes the cutting easier (but Suya Mallams say that if you want to make the best Suya, do not refrigerate or freeze the beef) - - If the fillets are long and large, cut them into small pieces such that when you thread them on the sticks, they will not flap too much.
- Thread the fillets of beef on the Suya sticks.
- Put some vegetable oil in a bowl, add a small quantity of salt and stir. Using a cooking brush, rub the vegetable oil on the threaded fillets of beef. This is what helps the Suya spice stick to the meat so make sure you do not leave out any part of the meat.
- In a wide dish, spread the Suya spice and dab the threaded fillets of beef in the spice so that the beef takes up as much of the spice as possible. All the beef will be covered with the Suya spice when you are done.
- Place all the now spiced beef in a flat plate, cover with a thin plastic film and leave to marinate for 1 hour.
- Once the beef has marinated for 1 hour, set your oven to preheat for 10 minutes. The settings should be Grill at 150°C or about 300°F - - Place the beef flat on the oven rack and put in the oven to roast. - - After 15 - 20 minutes, flip the beef to roast the underside as well. The length of time you'll roast each side depends on how thick the fillets are. So total roasting time for both sides of the beef is 30 - 40 minutes.
- Rub some of the remaining groundnut oil on both sides of the beef. Increase the oven temperature a bit and roast either side of the beef for 5 minutes each.
- Serve thereafter with some slices of cucumber, cabbage and onions
We also have Chicken Suya and Ram Suya. Feel free to prepare suya with your favourite meats: lamb, pork etc. Perhaps a fourth with ginger, however, there are variations to making this spice. My journey is never complete without countless sticks of suya, piping hot, just off the grill. There are several ways of making suya, the key ingredient in suya is good quality meat.
