    A plate of grilled beef on skewers served with a spicy sauce

    Cameroon Suya (pronounced SOY-YA) is a spicy beef on a stick considered to be a street food originating from the Hausa people of West Africa. It is absolutely delicious. These are typically served with onions and tomatoes on the side and a very spicy pepper sauce made from habanero’s. Suya would make a wonderful sandwich as well.

    This could be served as a main dish with some rice or as an appetizer, definitely one of my new favorites as the spices are amazing along with the subtle hint of peanuts. Fair warning the pepper sauce is really spicy, I mixed mine with some mayonnaise to tone it down and it was amazing! You will love this recipe!
