Instructions
1
Prep
Mix mayonnaise, minced scotch bonnet, grated garlic, lime juice, and a pinch of salt; refrigerate. Combine groundnut powder, smoked paprika, ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, cumin, cayenne, and salt in a bowl, stir in oil to form a paste. Thread beef cubes onto 2 skewers. Coat beef thoroughly with suya paste, pressing firmly. Slice red onion and tomato; have coriander, lime wedges, and flatbread ready.
2
Grill
Heat a griddle pan over high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes. Lay skewers on the hot pan, cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning twice, until deeply charred on all surfaces with a slight pink centre.
3
Rest and plate
Remove skewers from heat; rest 2 minutes. Arrange sliced onion and tomato on a plate, lay skewers alongside, spoon scotch bonnet mayo over the beef, scatter fresh coriander on top, and serve with lime wedges and warm flatbread.
