Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Beef sirloin (cubed)
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 4 leaves Bay leaves
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the 1.5 lbs of beef sirloin (cubed) with the 4 tbsp of olive oil, 6 cloves of garlic (minced), 4 leaves of bay leaves, 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar, 1 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Stir everything together until the beef is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or for up to overnight.
- 2If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers. You can alternate the beef cubes with the bay leaves from the marinade if you like.
- 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is about 400-450°F (200-230°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean.
- 4Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the skewers every couple of minutes, until the beef is nicely browned and cooked to your liking. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- 5Remove the skewers from the grill. Let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the beef more tender.
- 6Before eating, remove and discard the bay leaves from the skewers.
