1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin steaks, boneless (try to choose a piece with some fat on it, or ask your butcher to give you a piece of beef fat)
3 beef bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon water
1 to 3 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus 1 tablespoon for serving
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, medium sized, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, for serving

1. Cut the beef into 1/2-inch cubes. Crumble the bouillon cubes in a large bowl and mix with the water to make a thick paste. Stir in the cayenne, black pepper, and salt. Add in the meat and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 1 to 2 hours.

2. Preheat the grill to high.

3. Remove the beef from the marinade and thread onto the skewers, 6 to 8 cubes to a skewer, leaving the point (the last 1/4 inch of the skewer) exposed. Pour the oil on a plate and roll the skewers around in it to coat the meat.

4. When ready to cook, arrange the skewers on the hot grill grate and grill, turning with tongs, until the meat is cooked to taste, 2 to 3 minutes per side (8 to 12 minutes in all see Note).

5. Place the onions in a small bowl and the additional 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper in another. To eat, spear a piece of onion on the end of the skewer, then sprinkle the meat with as much additional cayenne as you can bear.

Serves 8 as an appetizer, 4 as an entrée

Note: These times will give you meat that is well-done. All the stick meat I’ve had has been served that way. It’s been made with cheap cuts of meat, so prolonged cooking is required to tenderize it.) To serve medium-rare stick meat, use a more tender cut and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side.
