Method

1

In a large bowl, combine minced onion, garlic, ginger, paprika, peanut butter, vegetable oil, lime juice, and salt to form a marinade. Mix until smooth.

2

Add meat cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.

3

In a shallow dish, combine ground peanuts, paprika, cayenne or chili powder, and garlic powder. Set the spice coating aside.

4

Thread marinated meat onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces. Pat meat dry with paper towels just before grilling.

5

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 10–15 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until meat is cooked through and the exterior is lightly charred.

6

Remove skewers from heat. While meat is still hot, roll each skewer in the spice coating to coat all sides generously.

7

Transfer skewers to a serving plate. Arrange sliced red onion and lime wedges alongside. Serve warm.
