Ingredients

Beef Skewers
Beef sirloin or chuck steak700 g
Beef tallow (or lard)2 tbsp
Marinade
Apple cider vinegar3 tbsp

Method
Beef Skewers
1
Cut the beef into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Marinade
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
3
Marinate the Beef: Add the beef cubes to the marinade, tossing to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
4
Thread Skewers: Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers. Discard any remaining marinade.
Sear and Plate
5
Heat the beef tallow (or lard) in a large cast-iron skillet or on a grill over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the skewers on the hot surface and cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness, ensuring a nice sear. Serve hot, directly from the skewer, for an authentic street-food experience.
