Instructions
Preparation time: 45 minutes (excluding marinating time).
- Soak the wooden skewers in lukewarm water to soften.
- Grind or finely chop the peanuts. Peel the garlic and ginger and press them. Mix them with the peanuts and the three types of pepper.
- Wash and dry the steaks, then remove the sinews. Cut them into thin strips and salt them.
- Thread the meat onto the dried wooden skewers. Place them in a shallow bowl and brush with oil, then roll them well in the peanut-and-spice mixture, pressing the meat lightly so it adheres better. Leave the skewers in the refrigerator for at least half an hour to absorb the spices.
- Arrange the beef skewers in a greased baking tray and roast for 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 200°C, turning halfway through.
