Step 1
Toss beef cubes with minced garlic, vinegar, bay leaves, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large bowl.
Step 2
Let sit for 5 minutes while you thread beef and bay leaves onto skewers, alternating pieces.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Working in batches, sear skewers 2 minutes per side without moving. Edges should char and beef should be medium-rare in the center.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread or alongside rice.
