Instructions
1
Begin by cutting the sirloin beef into consistent cubes, approximately 2 inches in size, which will ensure even cooking.
2
In a large, heavy-duty Ziploc bag, combine the minced garlic, kosher salt, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and paprika to create a flavorful marinade.

Alternatively, arrange the beef cubes evenly on a wire rack or broiling pan.
6
Place the skewers or pan about 6 inches from the broiler elements, and broil for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
