Beef muchomo is a Ugandan street food, but it can be made at home for any backyard get-together. The inside is very tender and it tastes delicious when eaten with skewered onions.

[edit | edit source]- Oil
- 1 medium-size lemon, juiced
- Salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Procedure
[edit | edit source]- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, salt, ground cumin, garlic powder, ground cardamom, and cayenne powder.
- Add the beef and onions, and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for about 9–10 hours and up to overnight.
- Preheat the grill to high heat and the oven to 200°F.
- Remove the beef and onions from the marinade, and thread alternately on metal skewers.
- Grill the skewers until a crust forms (about 2 minutes on each sides).
- Transfer the skewers to a baking sheet, and roast in the preheated oven until cooked through and tender (about 45 minutes).
- Serve the beef muchomo with peri peri sauce for dipping.
