Ingredients and Steps

Big text, no distractions — for the stove

Ingredients

  • Beef
  • Peanuts
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Paprika
  • Onion
  • Vegetable oil

Steps

  1. 1Slice beef thinly against the grain into long, even strips.
  2. 2Thread the strips onto skewers, weaving them slightly so they stay secure.
  3. 3Toast peanuts in a dry pan until fragrant, then grind them finely and combine with ground ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, and a pinch of salt to make the dry yaji spice mix.
  4. 4Brush the skewered meat lightly with oil, then coat it generously and evenly with the yaji spice mix, pressing it onto the surface.
  5. 5Grill the skewers over an open flame or hot grill, turning frequently, for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the meat chars nicely outside and cooks through.
  6. 6Brush with a little more oil partway through grilling to help the spice crust stay on.
  7. 7Slice raw onion and tomato and arrange them alongside the finished skewers.
  8. 8Sprinkle a little extra yaji over the top and serve hot.
