Method

Preparation

  1. Cut the meat into small chunks and marinate with salt, pepper and lemon or orange juice.
  2. If you want a different touch, add soy sauce to the marinade.
  3. Cut the onions into large pieces, trying to keep several layers together so the skewer can easily pass through them.
  4. Cut the peppers into squares similar in size to the meat chunks.

Assembly

  1. Alternate on the skewers a piece of meat with a piece of vegetable (onion, red pepper, green pepper or other options).
  2. Place the skewers on a plate and pour the remaining marinade over them so they absorb more flavor.
