Beef & Onion Skewers


Changed slightly & adopted from another favorite Sierra Leonean recipe, these yummy quick and easy skewers can me made up to two days in advance or marinated for as little as two hours before broiling or grilling. I promise these will be a hit even with the kids!

Beef & Onion Skewers

2 lbs beef cut into skewering size pieces
4 T natural creamy peanut butter
2 limes Juice & pulp
1 T salt
1 t garlic powder
2 large onions chopped for skewering
2 T tomato paste
1 t black pepper
1-3 t Cayenne pepper depending on your spice desires
1 T powdered thyme
1 t ginger powder
2 T oil

Set chopped onions aside. Pour lime juice/pulp and add all other ingredients except oil over beef, mix thoroughly with your hands and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours. Pour oil over beef right before cooking and distribute evenly. Stagger beef and onion on skewers and broil or BBQ for a few minutes on each side, remove from heat, cover and allow to steam in juices for 10-15 minutes before serving.

On those busy nights, serve with plain rice & vegis or for special occasions serve alongside jollof rice & stew or of course, whatever pleases you!
