1

Begin by discussing the variations of xixo and the types of meat and vegetables that can be used.

2

Select a piece of beef with a good layer of fat and remove any membranes to ensure tenderness.

3

Cut the beef into cubes, making them a bit larger for skewering.

4

Prepare the sausage by cutting it into three pieces after cooking it for six minutes.

5

Cut the bacon into cubes, ensuring they are manageable for skewering.

6

Slice the onion into petals and prepare the tomato by cutting it in half and leaving the seeds for juiciness.

7

Cut the yellow and red bell peppers into halves and then into pieces suitable for skewering.

8

Mix the chopped vegetables and meat in a bowl, adding a drizzle of olive oil and coarse salt for seasoning.

9

Let the mixture marinate for about 10-15 minutes to allow the oil to penetrate the meat.

10

Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of meat, bacon, and vegetables creatively.

11

Place the skewers about 40 cm from the heat source in the brazier, cooking for approximately 6 minutes on one side before turning them over.

12

Cook the skewers for a total of about 25-30 minutes, monitoring the cooking process closely.

13

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and slice the meat off the skewers for serving.
