Grilled Beef With Peanuts

This recipe has it's origins in West Africa and is great with potatoes or rice. The meat has a crunchy texture due to the peanuts and the combination of grilled beef, peanuts and chiles really need to be tasted.

You will need a food processor for the recipe to make the peanut coating required for the grilled beef. You will also need several meat skewers but this is not essential as you can complete this recipe using other methods but i do find the skewers easier to use when dealing with a coating like peanut sauce.

Ingredients

Preparation

• Grilled beef with peanuts is a recipe that all the family can enjoy. The main preparation for this grilled beef recipe is to remember that you need to marinade the beef for around 2 hours before cooking. Prepare the marinade by combining the garlic ,jalapeno's , ginger, peanut oil, salt and pepper to your food processor and blend to a fine paste or puree.

• To make the peanut paste, mix equal parts of roasted peanuts or crunchy peanut butter and plain flour and add to your food processor then gently blend them. To ensure you keep the peanut paste nice and crunchy try not to blend the mixer for long to avoid it turning into puree. The idea is to keep the crunch for added texture to your grilled beef.

• You should find that around 1/2 cup of each should do but this is down to your own personal taste. Try experimenting slightly on the thickness and consistency of the sauce to find your optimum recipe. Then gently blend them To ensure you keep the peanut paste nice and crunchy try not to blend them too much

• When the grilled corn on the cob is done remove from the heat and open the foil, add the butter, salt and pepper to taste and enjoy a really healthy tasty meal.Prepare the beef by coating and marinating for 2 hours and leave in the refrigerator until ready. Once the beef is ready thread the beef onto to skewers adding a slice of onion and bell pepper in between each piece. Take the skewers and roll them in the peanut paste ensuring you cover all the beef, onions and bell peppers

• Start your grill and oil ready for the skewers. Add the skewers to your grill and cook for 20 minutes or so. Make sure that you turn the skewers every 2-3 minutes to ensure you don't burn the beef.
