Cooking Tips
- Marinating the beef: To enhance the flavor, marinate the beef for as long as possible, up to overnight. This not only adds depth to the taste but also tenderizes the meat.
- Vegetable selection: Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables according to preference or seasonal availability. Zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and squash also work well.
- Skewer tips: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
