Cooking Directions
- 1
Marinate the Meat
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the meat of your choice, cut into 1-inch cubes. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Prepare Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, preheat your grill.
