Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 lbs top sirloin beef cubes with 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tsp dried oregano. Toss thoroughly to coat all beef pieces evenly and marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat (about 450°F). Thread the marinated beef cubes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
Step 3: Grill the beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the surface is charred and the interior reaches medium-rare to medium doneness. Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
