METHOD
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, mix the beef with the Piri Piri Spice Blend, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Set aside for at least 15 minutes to marinate.
Preheat a grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef, red and yellow bell pepper squares, and red onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating between different types for a colourful presentation.
Brush the skewers with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Grill the Piri Piri Beef Skewers on the barbecue or grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Serve the Piri Piri Beef Skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavour.
