# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Marinade
01 -
Juice squeezed from 1 lemon
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
2 tablespoons Greek herb mix
04 -
4 cloves of garlic, chopped up tiny
→ Beef
05 -
680 grams chuck roast, fat gone and sliced into small cubes
→ Garnish
06 -
Chopped fresh parsley
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Toss olive oil, lemon juice, garlic bits, and the Greek spice blend into your biggest bowl.
02 -
Pop those beef cubes in, make sure they're totally coated, then cover up. Stick it in the fridge at least 3 hours so the taste really gets in there.
03 -
Get your grill blazing hot. Soak wood skewers in water if you're using those. You don't need to do anything extra if you've got metal ones.
04 -
Stick chunks of that tasty beef onto your skewers. Try to spread them out so they cook nice and even.
05 -
Set the skewers right on the hot grill. Flip 'em every so often. Want it rare? Aim for 52°C. Medium-rare's about 55–57°C. Medium is 57–63°C, medium-well goes from 63 up to 68°C, and you'll hit well done right at 68°C.
06 -
Once you pull them off, let the skewers chill for a few minutes. Sprinkle a handful of fresh parsley on top.
07 -
Go ahead and serve right away. They're great with pita, rice, red onion slices, or a big dollop of tzatziki if you want.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
After trimming, you'll probably end up with 450–570 grams of beef.
02 -
Letting the beef soak up the marinade for at least 3 hours makes it super juicy and tasty.
03 -
Checking the inside temp makes sure your beef cooks exactly how you love it.
