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 onions and
Salt

The quantities of these ingredients that makes the best Nigerian Suya spice is what I'm trying to figure out. This is top secret amongst Mai Suyas :)

Stay tuned because as soon as I perfect this, I will post the recipe :)

  • Im making it today!!!!!

  • @blessedwun92 I didn't wash the beef dear because I think washing those thin slices will make a mess of the whole thing. And there's really no need because here, the butchers clean the meat very well so no worries :)

  • @Kouglizia you are welcome :)

  • I absolutely love your videos and can't wait to try this. You didnt say anything about washing the beef.. do you go about it like you would if you were to boil it?
