Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin
- 1 onion, chopped
- ⅛ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Steps
- Cut beef into 1×1/2-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Add onion, lime juice, salt, and black pepper; mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Thread beef on skewers, 6 to 8 pieces per skewer. Discard any excess marinade.
