Skewer Tips

You can also soak the skewers in beef broth for 1 hour, which will provide more flavor while cooking. Or coat the skewer lightly with canola oil, which can withstand the high heat of the grill. Instead of putting meat and vegetables on same skewer, separate onto 2 different skewers since they have different cooking times.
