Tips: Cut the meat into pieces about 4 cm wide, as smaller pieces can dry out easily on the grill.
Tips: Start over medium heat to sear the outside, then reduce to low heat for the final 2–3 minutes so the center cooks through more easily.
Tips: When using charcoal, turn the skewers over a spot away from direct flames to preserve the smoky aroma without burning the outside.
