Preparing the Skewers
  1. Carefully thread the marinated beef onto wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Grilling the Skewers
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are charred and juicy.
Cooking the Fries
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the cut potatoes and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, seasoning with salt immediately after.
Serving
  1. On a platter, arrange lettuce leaves, grilled beef skewers, and crispy fries. Garnish with tomato slices and red onion.
