Ingredients

½ cup (110g) mayonnaise
¼ cup (60g) pepper sauce
2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) vegetable oil
2 large onions
2 pounds (950g) steak (sirloin, rib eye, etc.)
½-1 tablespoon (2-5g) cayenne, depending on heat preference
1 tablespoon (5g) smoked paprika
1 tablespoon (5g) garlic powder
1 tablespoon (5g) onion powder
1 tablespoon (5g) white pepper
1 tablespoon (10g) bouillon or Maggie
¾ teaspoon (5g) salt
2 baguette rolls
2 large tomatoes (optional)

Instructions

Condiments

Combine mayonnaise and pepper sauce. You can make spicy mayo sauce the day before and refrigerate it.
Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and bouillon or Maggi in a medium bowl.
Add oil to a large skillet or frying pan and heat over medium-low.
Add onions and let them cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes until a deep golden brown. Season with about a tablespoon of the suya spices, and let them cool.

Suya

Apply a generous amount of the suya spices on the steaks.
Grill the steaks on high heat for 8-10 minutes on each side for medium or when an internal temperature reads 135℉ (60℃). (You can cook it in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350℉ (180℃) to the desired doneness if you don't want to grill it).
When the steaks are done to your liking, take them off the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes.

Assembly

Slice the baguettes in half horizontally. Generously spread the spicy mayonnaise on them before building the sandwiches.
Divide the steak and onions between each baguette. Add more pepper sauce if desired.
Place each filled baguette on a baking tray and bake them for about 5 minutes. Remove, add the tomatoes, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

You can cook the beef in the oven, stovetop, or grill.
Replace the beef with chicken, pork, or lamb.
