• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Make a marinade by mixing the vinegar, olive oil, onion, salt and pepper.
2. Marinate the cubed meat in the marinade for at least 2 hours.
3. Put the meat on skewers and grill or broil for 7-10 minutes or until the meat is browned and cooked to your preference.
