Spiedini di Manzo al Limone | Quick Italian Beef Skewers

Preheat your oven to 100 °C top/bottom heat to keep the skewers gently warm and let them rest later. Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for about 10 minutes so that they do not burn when searing in the pan later.

Pat the beef escalopes dry with paper towels. Cut the meat lengthwise into uniform strips, about 2 to 3 cm wide and as thin as possible. Finely grate the zest of half the organic lemon and squeeze the juice from the whole lemon. Very finely chop the garlic and the needles of the fresh rosemary.

Place the beef strips in a bowl and mix them with 30 ml of extra virgin olive oil, the lemon juice, the lemon zest, the chopped garlic, the rosemary, and 1 tsp of dried oregano. Season everything with fine salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the meat marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
