This is the best Grilled Beef With Peanut Flour / Kyinkyinga recipe on the web!!

WEST AFRICA
Advance Preparation: 2 to 3 hours for marinating the meat
Special Equipment: 4 long metal skewers or 8 short bamboo skewers, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained

I first learned of kyinkyinga (pronounced "chin-chin-ga") from an anthropologist who spent several years studying tribes in West Africa. When cooking beef, they hang long strips of it on vertical skewers and cook it upright in front of a campfire. The peanut flour used to coat the meat adds an unexpected crunch and sweet nutty flavor that counterpoints the fiery chile marinade on the beef.

The only remotely difficult aspect to this dish is finding peanut flour. If you live in a city with a West African community, you may be able to find it at a West African grocery store or sometimes at an Asian market. If not, you can order it by mail. In a pinch, you can easily grind dry roasted peanuts with a little flour in a food processor.

For the sake of convenience, I cook the meat kebab style. As always, I offer a range of chiles. Four will give you a really hot kyinkyinga.


   FOR THE BEEF AND MARINADE:
   _ 1/2-2 lb beef sirloin steaks, boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes
   _ onion, large, cut into chunks
   _ green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into chunks
   _ clove garlic, peeled
   _ to 8 jalapeno chiles, , or 1 to 4 scotch bonnet chiles, coarsely chopped (for a milder kyinkyinga, seed the chiles)
   _ tbs ginger, chopped fresh
   _ 1/2 tsp salt
   _ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
   ___ c peanut oil
   FOR THE KEBABS:
   _ green bell peppers, large, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
   _ onion, large, cut inot 1-inch pieces
   _ 1/2 c flour, peanut (see Note)


1. Place the beef in a large baking dish and set it aside while you prepare the marinade.

2. Combine the onion, bell pepper, garlic, chiles, ginger, salt, and pepper in a food processor and finely chop. Add the oil and continue processing to a smooth purée. Add the mixture to the beef and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 2 to 3 hours.

3. Preheat the grill to high.

4. Remove the beef from the marinade and thread it onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion. Place the flour on a large plate and roll the kebabs in it so that all sides are generously covered.

5. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the skewers on the hot grate. Grill, turning the kebabs with tongs, until the beef is cooked to taste, 2 to 3 minutes per side (8 to 12 minutes in all), for medium-rare. Serve immediately.

Serves 4

Note: If you don’t have peanut flour, grind 1 1/4 cups dry-roasted peanuts with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour as fine as possible in a food processor, running the machine in short bursts. Take care not to overgrind; peanut flour quickly becomes peanut butter.
