- Grill the skewers over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside of the beef tender and juicy.
- Baste the skewers: Basting the skewers with the marinade or a mixture of soy sauce and honey while grilling helps to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce: A simple peanut sauce or a spicy Sriracha sauce are both great options.
