Suya-Spiced Beef Strips with Orange-Onion Salad

Suya spice — ground peanuts, ginger, cayenne, and garlic powder — turns simple sliced beef into something bold with almost no effort. Here the beef is marinated briefly, seared quickly so it stays juicy, then rested and sliced thin against the grain.

We paired the beef with fresh orange segments and peppery arugula instead of the usual raw onion wedge, because the vitamin C in citrus works alongside the iron naturally present in beef to help your body absorb more of it. Lime juice and fresh parsley keep the whole plate feeling light despite how much flavor is packed into the meat.

This one's quick enough for a weeknight but feels special enough for guests — high in protein and iron, and built for anyone who wants a lean, satisfying dinner without a long ingredient list.
