If you're craving bold, spicy flavors, Suya is the perfect dish for you! Suya is a Nigerian grilled meat skewer, traditionally made with beef, chicken, or ram, coated in a fiery peanut-based spice blend called Yaji.

  2. Skewer and Grill: Thread the marinated beef onto skewers and grill over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Serve your Suya with sliced onions, tomatoes, and additional Yaji spice sprinkled on top for extra heat.
