Instructions

1. Make the beef stock: put the beef, salt, onion, curry powder, bouillon, thyme and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then cook 15 to 20 minutes, until tender, adding a little water if needed.
2. Remove the beef and keep the stock. Pat the beef dry, then fry or air-fry until browned.
3. Rinse the tomatoes, bell peppers and onion, chop them, and blend with a little water until smooth. Pour into a pot and cook about 30 minutes, until most of the water has evaporated.
4. Alternatively, roast the tomatoes, bell peppers and onion on a baking tray with a little oil under the broiler until softened and lightly charred, then blend until smooth.
5. Heat the oil in a large pot. Fry the chopped onion for a few minutes until soft. Add the tomato paste and fry about 15 minutes, stirring often, until deeper red.
6. Add the reduced tomato and pepper mixture and stir well. Add the suya spice, salt, bouillon, dried thyme, bay leaf and curry powder, and mix well.
7. Pour in the beef stock and some water, mix, cover and cook about 5 minutes.
8. Rinse the rice repeatedly under running water until clear, then drain. Add it to the sauce and mix. Add a little more water if needed so it sits just slightly above the rice.
9. Cover tightly and cook on low heat until the rice is soft.
10. Mix in the shredded cabbage, sliced onion and fresh tomatoes, letting the rice heat soften them slightly while keeping some crunch.
11. Make the suya: slice the beef into very thin strips, cutting against the grain. Toss with a little oil, salt, beef bouillon and suya spice until coated.
12. Thread the beef onto skewers and sprinkle more suya spice on both sides. Soak wooden skewers in water at least 30 minutes first if grilling outdoors.
13. Heat the grill to about 200°C (400°F). Grill the skewers about 15 minutes, turning as needed, until browned and cooked through. Thin pieces may cook faster, so check early.
14. Serve the suya with the jollof rice and the fried beef, if using. Add more suya spice on top if you like.
