Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil.
- Season the steak lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until the steak is charred on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut the rested flank steak into small cubes (about 1/2 inch in diameter). Transfer to a bowl and add the red onion. Sprinkle with the Suya Spice Mix and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss well.
- Pile the steak and onion on a serving platter and add the tomatoes and cucumber in a pile. Sprinkle with more Suya Spice Mix and serve with sliced baguette.
- Put the peanuts in a blender or electric spice grinder and pulse until fine and powdery but not pasty. Add the ginger, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder and salt as desired and blend just to combine. Transfer to an airtight container. The suya spice will keep for several weeks in a cool, dry place.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Crush the peanuts into a fine powder using a mortal and pestle, or a food processor. The result should look like a fine crumble.
- To remove the excess oil from the peanuts, lay a clean paper towel on top of the kitchen counter, and spread the peanut crumble over the surface of the paper towel, just big enough to ensure that it will all be covered by the base of a large pot. Once the crumble has been spread, place a second paper towel on top of it, followed by a heavy-bottomed pot, and any additional weight you can find (canned items do a good job here). Allow to sit for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Place dried out peanut crumble in a small bowl, Add the remaining spices and stir to combine.
- The suya spice can be used on a variety of meat either during preparation before grilling or once the cooking process has been completed, to top cooked skewers of meat.

BEEF SUYA
Suya is a popular Nigerian street food made of thin strips of meat that are seasoned, skewered and grilled. The term "suya" can refer to the preparation technique or the resulting dish, and can apply to other meats, such as goat and chicken. This recipe is similar in style to the suya made from a fattier cut of beef called tozo, which comes from the hump of the zebu cattle, found in northern Nigeria. A well-marbled piece of boneless short rib is a great substitute. Ask your butcher to thinly slice the meat into strips, or pop it into your freezer for 30 minutes and use a sharp knife to slice. Suya spice, or yaji, is available online or at African groceries, or you can make your own (see Tip).

Steps:
- Lay several strips of meat on a piece of plastic wrap, leaving about 1/2 inch between each slice, and top with another piece of plastic wrap. Pound the meat strips with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy frying pan until 1/8-inch thick. Repeat this process until all the meat has been flattened. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup peanut oil and 2 tablespoons suya spice blend with ginger and garlic. Add beef, toss to coat and season with 2 teaspoons salt. Cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate in the fridge for 4 to 12 hours.
- Heat a gas grill or grill pan over medium-high, and brush with peanut oil.
- Skewer the beef pieces on 12 individual presoaked wooden or metal skewers, wiping off any excess marinade. Brush the meat generously with more peanut oil and set the skewers on a baking sheet.
- Working in batches if necessary, grill the beef skewers until meat is cooked through and lightly charred on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and sprinkle with more suya spice blend. Repeat until all the beef has been grilled.
- Place the tomato and onion slices in a bowl and squeeze lime juice all over. Season with salt and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Strain any excess liquid.
- Top skewers with red onion and tomatoes, sprinkle with toasted peanuts, and serve with additional suya spice, for dipping.
BEEF SUYA
Scents are something normally associated with memory and nostalgia. As a child, I remember the wafting aroma of suya dancing down the street in Nigeria. This dish will be a showstopper and flavor bomb, something your guests will take with them in their memory bank too.

BEEF SUYA
My Nigerian brother-in-law introduced me to beef suya, a very spicy street food that's popular in western Africa. I was intrigued when I found out the spice rub is made from ground peanuts and a blend of different seasonings. After lots of experimenting, I came up with my own version. -Elena Iorga, Irvine, California

NIGERIAN SUYA
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. I overlooked the raw meat on the side of the road and just figured the heat would kill anything that should not be there. It was delicious. Serving size is a guestimate. Traditionally you don't use the vegetables

Steps:
- Make the ground peanut powder: Remove shells and skins from roasted peanuts, if necessary. Grind the peanuts into a fine powder (briefly pound them in a mortar and pestle; crush them with a rolling pin; or use a food processor). Be careful not to grind them into a paste.
- If the peanut powder is oily, wrap it in absorbent paper (paper towel) and squeeze for a minute or two.
- Stir the spices into the powder, mixing well. For really spicy hot suya, use more cayenne pepper -- for a milder dish, substitute paprika for some (all) of the cayenne pepper. Divide the peanut-spice mix into two parts, putting half in one bowl and half in another. Set one bowl aside.
- Dip and roll the meat in the other bowl of the peanut-spice mix, making sure the meat is completely coated. Allow meat to marinate for thirty minutes or more. (Get the outdoor grill going or pre-heat the oven while you are waiting).
- Place the meat on skewers (alternating with the onion, tomato, and sweet pepper, if desired).
- Broil in a hot oven, or grill over hot coals, until meat is done. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Serve immediately with the reserved peanut-spice mix, for sprinkling or dipping as desired. (Do not use the mix that came into contact with the raw meat.).
