  4. Seal the bag making sure no air is left in the bag and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 2-8 hours. Also allow your 6" bamboo skewers to soak in water for a few hours to prevent the bamboo from flaring up while grilling.
  5. Once the beef is fully marinated, thread and weave each piece through your 6" bamboo skewers and allow them to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
