Notes

💡 Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning — or better yet, use metal skewers for even cooking.
🍋 A squeeze of fresh lime juice right before serving makes the smoky flavors pop and brightens every bite.
🥩 Slice steak against the grain for the most tender results — it shortens the muscle fibers and keeps each piece juicy.
