Notes
- Just wanted to mention that one of the readers complained that the marinade was very acidic for them, so I suggest cutting back the lemon and vinegar by half and test the marinade yourself, if you feel it is not tangy enough then add the rest of the lemon and vinegar. I've tested this recipe in several occasions and never got any problem with it.
- Oven instructions:
- place two oven racks one in the middle and one near the top turn your broiler on high and broil meat skewers 3 minutes on each side. Please use metal skewers as bamboo might catch fire.
- Turn oven on 400F, Place the skewers on the middle of the oven and cook to desired doneness.
- With my oven I have noticed the following times :
- 8 minutes for medium rare, 13 for medium, 18 minutes for medium well and 28-35 minutes for well done. Make sure to re-arrange the skewers once in the middle of cooking so all the skewers be cooked the same.
