Method
1
Cut beef into bite-sized cubes and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help the spice coating adhere better.
2
Combine ground hot pepper, salt, mixed spices (if using), and ground kulikuli in a shallow bowl, mixing thoroughly to create a uniform spice blend.
3
Thread beef cubes onto a metal skewer, leaving small gaps between pieces to allow even heat circulation during roasting.
4
Roll the threaded beef skewer in the spice mixture, pressing gently so the ground kulikuli and spices coat all sides of the meat evenly.
2 minutes
5
Heat a charcoal fire, grill, or open flame until it reaches medium-high heat with glowing coals or consistent flame ready for roasting.
5 minutes
6
Hold the skewer directly over the heat and rotate continuously to cook the meat evenly on all sides, ensuring the spice coating doesn't burn.
12 minutes
7
Check that the beef is cooked through with a golden-brown, slightly charred crust on the exterior while remaining tender inside.
8
Slide the cooked meat from the skewer onto a serving plate and arrange sliced tomatoes and sliced onions alongside it as fresh accompaniments.
9
Serve hot immediately, allowing diners to eat the meat directly or wrap it in bread with the fresh vegetables and extra spice mixture if desired.
