Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Cut the Meat

    Cut the mixed steak, brisket, and bottom roast into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Make Marinade

    In a bowl, combine ground peanuts, vegetable oil, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until you have a smooth marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Meat

    Add the cut meat strips to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking Meat

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Skewer the Meat

    Thread the marinated meat strips onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece.

  3. 6

    Grill the Meat

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has grill marks.

Preparation of Side Dish

  1. 7

    Prepare Plantains

    Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.

  2. 8

    Fry Plantains

    In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced plantains and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 9
