Steps

1

Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
2

Add beef cubes and coat thoroughly.
3

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
4

Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil the grates.
5

Skewer beef, leaving space between pieces. Shake off excess marinade.
6

Grill over direct heat, turning every 2–3 minutes, for 8–12 minutes total.
7

Aim for charred edges and a juicy, slightly pink center.
8

For smoke flavor, use a charcoal grill or add a wood chunk. On gas, let drippings create flare-ups.
9

Serve with warm pita, rice or flatbread, and grilled onions and tomatoes.
10

For quick garlic sauce: mix 120ml mayo, 1 minced garlic clove, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of salt.
