Cubes of beef or lamb, about 3 cm, marinated for hours in oil, grated onion, lemon and spices, threaded onto skewers, sometimes alternating with onion and pepper, and grilled over a hot grill for a few minutes per side.
In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt and black pepper, add the meat cubes and toss until all are coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
