Instructions
Prepare the marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, and black pepper until well combined.
Pro tip: Adjust the seasoning to your taste with more or less garlic or lemon juice.
Marinate the beef
Place the beef cubes in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the beef. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for enhanced flavour.
Pro tip: Turn the bag occasionally to ensure even marination.
Preheat the grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Pro tip: Clean the grill grates and oil them lightly to prevent sticking.
Assemble the skewers
Thread marinated beef cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Pro tip: Avoid overcrowding each skewer for better grilling.
Grill the skewers
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for accuracy.
Rest and serve
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Pro tip: Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
Tips & Tricks
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
