There is no standard as to how small the cubes are cut and the sizes can vary anywhere between 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. Somali butchers, or any butcher shops that cater to Somalis, are familiar with suqaar and you can order ready-cut beef cubes from them. However, if you are far away from civilization :), you can cut your own. The meat is first cut into 1/2 inch thick slices or the thickness you prefer. The slices are cut into long strips which are then cut into cubes.
When it comes to choosing the meat for the suqaar, we prefer beef over veal, since beef is more flavourful. Veal is more tender but when the cubes are very small, beef suqaar are also tender.
You can serve suqaar with rice, grits (soor), anjero, muufo baraawe (maanda), or any other bread that you prefer.
The following is a funny clip about suqaar by the famous Somali artist Nakruumo. Please note that the video can only be watched on Youtube, so click on the YouTube logo (on the bottom right-hand corner) to watch it.
