How to Make Nigerian Suya
For more on Nigerian Suya visit: www.allnigerianrecipes.com *****Please read this for more information: I will upload the recipe for the Nigeria Suya Spice when I have perfected it. I bought the Suya Spice I used in the video from a Mai Suya. It is also available in major African stores in all major cities of the world. I tried to make my own but it was a mess so I'm back to Suya Spice drawing board :) Tips for making the best Nigerian Suya: 1. If possible use beef that was cut on the same day for your Nigerian Suya. 2. It is not advisable to refrigerate the beef including when marinating it. Yes I know I will get the counter top or no counter top question on this. So this is NOT my tip, the Mai Suyas (the Suya Gurus of Nigeria) say that refrigerating the meat for Nigerian Suya at any point depletes the natural flavour of the beef. 3. Use the fleshiest part of the beef for your Nigerian Suya. The part with as little fat as possible. Small streaks of fat here and there is fine but if you use the part with a lot of fat, the fat will just melt away during roasting and the Nigerian Suya will be sticky when cold. 4. Roast the Suya at low temperatures. Yes, I know you are impatient to start biting into those yummy Nigerian Suyas but the patient YOU eats the tastiest Suya ... lol! There are lots more information about Nigerian Suya on my website (link above) Nigerian Suya Spice contains: Groundnuts (peanuts) Ground ginger Assorted types of dry peppers Stock cubes Ground dry ...
