Beef Suya

Cultural Context

Originating from the northern regions of Nigeria, Suya is a popular street food made from skewered and grilled meat, often enjoyed at night markets. Traditionally served with spicy pepper sauce and fresh vegetables, it embodies the vibrant flavors of Nigerian cuisine. Today, Suya has transcended borders, inspiring variations in other West African countries and even beyond, where it's enjoyed at barbecues and gatherings.

1

Cut the beef into pieces as desired using a sharp kitchen knife.

2

Wash the beef in a bowl with salt and water, rinsing it out twice. Optionally, use lemon or vinegar for washing.

3

In a clean bowl, add garlic powder, ginger powder, 3 tablespoons of soya spice, a small amount of no cube, and a pinch of salt to taste.

4

Incorporate the spices with the beef, adding a little olive oil and mixing well to coat the meat.

5

If desired, marinate the beef overnight in the fridge for better flavor; otherwise, place it in the freezer for a short time to marinate.

6

Peel and cut the Irish potatoes into desired shapes for frying.

7

Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the cut potatoes and shake to season.

8

Prepare an oven tray with baking paper and place an oven rack on top to catch drippings from the beef.

9

Place the marinated beef on the oven rack and set it in the air fryer for cooking.

10

Cook the beef for 25-30 minutes, flipping it every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.

11

Check the doneness of the beef; the air fryer tends to dry it out more than the oven.

12

Remove the beef from the air fryer and compare it with the oven-cooked beef, noting the differences in texture and juiciness.

13

Place the cooked beef on a plate with the fried chips and fresh tomatoes, adding more soya spice if desired.
