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

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread marinated meat onto skewers, alternating with bell peppers and tomatoes.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has grill marks.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
