Nigerian beef cooking is dominated by parboiling + frying or long stews — both produce well-done results by default. The 'Don dey done' Pidgin phrase emphasizes thorough cooking; cultural and food-safety preferences both favor it. Modern Lagos steakhouses serve international doneness levels for Suya and grilled Fillet, but home cooking is uniformly well-done. Suya is grilled to well-done with significant char.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
