First, make the marinade. Whizz the peanuts in a food processor until finely chopped.

Drain the beef, discarding the marinade, then thread the meat onto the skewers.
step 4
Griddle the beef, covered, over a medium-high heat for 10-15 mins, turning occasionally. Garnish with the diced onions, tomatoes and parsley, if using, to serve.
