Chef's tips
Slice the beef thinly across the grain so it stays tender, and soak wooden skewers in water beforehand to prevent burning.
Storage
Refrigerate cooked skewers up to 3 days.
Reheating
Reheat briefly on a grill or skillet over medium heat.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Cutting the beef too thick, which makes the skewers tough and chewy
- •Skipping the skewer soak, which causes the wood to catch fire and burn
