  1. THAT OVEN-BAKED TASTE

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the onion wedges and the tomato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in ⅓ of the rub, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and golden, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, ⅓ of the remaining rub, and a drizzle of oil. Set aside.

  2. PREP STEP

    While the veg are roasting, cut the beef into bite-sized chunks. Peel and grate the garlic and the ginger. Rinse and pick the coriander.

  3. THE DELISH PART OF THE DISH

    In a bowl, combine the beef rump chunks, suya paste, grated garlic, grated ginger, the remaining rub, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. If too thick, add water or oil in 5ml increments until a yoghurt consistency.

  4. READY THE ROTIS

    When the roast has 12-15 minutes to go, add the dressed chickpeas to the roast, and return to the oven for the remaining time. Place a pan over a medium heat. When hot, warm the roti until heated through and lightly toasted, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, heat it on a plate in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

  5. STICK ‘EM UP

    Thread the marinated beef chunks onto each skewer, making sure they are secure. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the skewers until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, cover in tinfoil, and leave to rest for at least 5 minutes.

  6. SUYA WANT MORE?

    Plate up the beef skewers. Serve alongside the warmed roti and roasted veg and chickpeas. Side with the yoghurt. Sprinkle over the picked coriander. Yum!
