Thread an equal amount of beef, weaving back and forth, onto each skewer.

Garnish with lime and cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Cooking Tip:
To check the temperature of the coals, cautiously hold your hand, palm side down, at cooking height (just above the grid). Count the number of seconds you can hold your hand in that position before the heat is uncomfortable and you have to pull it away: 4 seconds for medium coals.
