Though the town I grew up in was primarily Italian during my childhood, we also had quite a bit of Greek food around as they share similar ingredients. This is my version of a beef souvlaki protein topping for a Ridiculously Big Salad.

If you’ve got 2 lbs of a relatively cheap beef steak or roast around, this is a truly scrumptious thing to make with it.

Cut the beef against the grain when cubing to improve the tenderness beyond what the greek beef kabobs marinade accomplishes.

I have never bothered with skewers for this; I just marinade overnight and then cook the greek beef kabobs in the oven the following day. In a pinch, you could just marinade for an hour, but I like to do it overnight to maximize the flavor and tenderness.
