Step 1
Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Add beef cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let sit 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3
Thread beef onto skewers, leaving 1/4 inch between pieces for even cooking.
Step 4
Heat grill to high. Once grate is very hot, lay skewers on grill without moving.
Step 5
Grill 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Beef should char at edges but stay pink inside.
Step 6
Transfer skewers to a plate and rest 3 minutes before serving.
