Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the vinegar, oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, mint, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the cubed meat to the marinade. Toss the meat until it is completely coated.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. You can leave it overnight or up to 2 days.

  4. 4

    Thread the meat onto skewers. Leave small spaces between the pieces so they cook evenly.

  5. 5

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  6. 6

    Grill the skewers for 10 to 14 minutes, turning them occasionally. Cook until lightly charred outside and done inside.

  7. 7

    Slide the hot meat directly off the skewers onto slices of soft Italian bread.

  8. 8

    Drizzle with a little extra marinade or oil. Fold the bread around the meat and serve.

Chef's tips

Marinate the meat for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days so the vinegar mixture makes it tender and flavorful.

Storage

Refrigerate marinated raw meat up to 2 days before grilling; store cooked leftovers up to 3 days.

Reheating

Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through; avoid overcooking, which dries the meat further.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Not marinating long enough, which leaves the meat tough and plain.
  • Packing meat too tightly on skewers, which stops it from browning evenly.
  • Using hard sandwich rolls instead of soft Italian bread slices.
