# What You'll Need:

01 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
02 -
Juice of 1 lemon
03 -
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
04 -
2 tablespoons Greek seasoning
→ Beef
05 -
680 grams chuck roast, trimmed and cubed into bite-sized pieces

# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Greek seasoning.
02 -
Add the cubed beef to the marinade and toss thoroughly to coat each piece. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow flavours to develop.
03 -
Preheat outdoor grill to high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water during this time. Metal skewers may be used without soaking.
04 -
Thread marinated beef onto skewers, distributing pieces evenly.
05 -
Place skewers on the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until beef reaches desired doneness: rare (52°C), medium-rare (55–57°C), medium (57–63°C), medium-well (63–68°C), or well done (68°C).
06 -
Allow skewers to rest briefly off heat before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
07 -
Serve immediately, accompanied by rice, tzatziki sauce, pita bread, or red onions as desired.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
After trimming, the final weight of beef may be between 450–570 grams.
02 -
For optimal tenderness and flavour, allow beef to marinate for at least 3 hours.
03 -
Monitoring internal temperature ensures beef is cooked to preferred doneness.
