Ingredients

about 910 g Beef cubes (sirloin or tenderloin)

4 Bay leaves
2 tbsp Coarse sea salt
2 tbsp Olive oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1In a bowl, crush the 6 cloves of garlic. Add the 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt to the crushed garlic and mix them together to form a paste.
2Add the about 910 g of beef cubes to the bowl with the garlic and salt mixture. Use your hands to rub the mixture all over every piece of beef, ensuring it is well coated.
3Carefully thread the seasoned beef cubes onto long metal skewers. Alternate each beef cube with one of the 4 bay leaves, placing a bay leaf between each piece of meat.
4Place the loaded skewers on a grill. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the skewers.
5Grill the skewers over high heat. Cook for approximately 8 to 10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 57°C for medium-rare, or your desired doneness.
6Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately.
