Step 1
Toss beef cubes with lemon juice, zest, garlic, ginger, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Thread beef onto skewers, packing pieces snugly with 1-inch gaps between each.
Step 3
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Sear skewers 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should char deeply and centers stay pink.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate and rest 2 minutes before serving.
