Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs top sirloin steak cut into 1.5-inch cubes with 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp coarse sea salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 3 tbsp olive oil. Toss well to coat all the meat evenly and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Preheat a grill to high heat (around 500°F). Thread the marinated steak cubes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
- Step 3: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning to get a nice char and medium-rare doneness. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
- Step 4: Slice the beef thinly off the skewers directly onto a platter. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over for added brightness.
