1

Make the marinade by blending white onion, green onion, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, oil, beer, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, food coloring, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender until well combined.

2

Cut sirloin beef into chunks and place in a large resalable bag.

3

Add the marinade to the bag, seal it, and massage the bag to coat the beef evenly.

4

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.

5

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

6

Thread the marinated beef onto the skewers. Optionally, add peppers, mushrooms, or onions, but the creator does not include them in this video.

7

Grill the skewers on medium-high heat for about 8 to 12 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
