  • 1 lb of either sirloin, chuck, or skirt steak cut thin (Honestly, it does not matter, get the cut of beef you can afford).
  • If you want full enjoyment go for meat with good fat marbling
  • 1/4 cup of canola oil (~45g)
  • 2 Tbsp of Suya Bros suya powder (30g)
  • Bamboo skewer (optional)
  • Soak for at least 45 mins before using

Directions

  1. This recipe scales nicely
  2. 2 Tbsp of Suya Bros suya spice for one pound of meat
  3. It is essential to soak the bamboo skewer beforehand otherwise they will burn on the grill or in the oven
  4. Please ensure you are cooking in a well-ventilated area if using "Extra Spicy" or "You Dey Craze" the spice will choke you.

  7. Whisk together suya spice and oil in a separate bowl until well incorporated.
