Ingredients
Instructions

- Add the steak cubes to the marinade; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
- Drain the steak from the marinade.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the steak overnight for a deeper taste. If you don't have honey, maple syrup can be a good substitute. To ensure even cooking, cut the steak into uniform cubes and soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. This dish pairs beautifully with Veach'S Baked Beans.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak skewers with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They are perfect for a summer barbecue and pair well with Nanny'S Barbecue Hash for a hearty side. Consider offering a dipping sauce on the side for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a grill or in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the steak tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Absolutely! Chicken, pork, or even firm tofu can be used in place of beef. Just adjust the marinade time accordingly; chicken and pork should marinate for at least 1-2 hours, while tofu can take about 30 minutes.
What can I serve with steak on a stick?
These skewers pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with coleslaw, corn on the cob, or baked potatoes. For a refreshing touch, a cucumber salad or a simple green salad would complement the flavors nicely.
How do I know when the steak is done cooking?
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C); for medium, 145°F (63°C). If you prefer a different level of doneness, adjust the cooking time accordingly, keeping in mind that thinner pieces will cook faster.
