Nyama Choma

Savor the vibrant flavors of Kenya with Nyama Choma, a mouthwatering grilled beef dish seasoned to perfection and served with a refreshing kachumbari salad. Ideal for weekend gatherings or a festive barbecue.

• 1 kg beef (preferably sirloin or rib-eye)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 cup kachumbari (fresh tomato and onion salad)
• 4 pieces skewers

Method

1. 1

   Prepare the beef by cutting it into large chunks and marinating it with salt, black pepper, and paprika for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Soak the skewers in water if using wooden ones, to prevent burning during grilling.

3. 3

   Skewer the marinated beef chunks onto the skewers, leaving some space between each piece.

4. 4

   Heat a grill or barbecue, and brush it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked and slightly charred.

6. 6

   Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

7. 7

   Serve the Nyama Choma with kachumbari on the side for a fresh contrast.
