• Mix the next eight ingredients for your marinade.


• Marinate 1 ounce strips on both sides for about 15 minutes.


• Lightly spray pan or grill with non-stick pan spray


• Skewer the beef onto the sticks.


• Once heat source is hot, place skewer on cooking surface, which ever you picked.


• If grilling or using a cast iron skillet with ridges, cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the meat.

 

Chef’s Note:  Remember that different thicknesses will determine cooking time and if cooking chicken instead of beef, then a minimum temperature of 165 degrees must be reached before serving.
