Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Trim the beef rib fingers
    A close-up of a knife separating the white, tough fascia from a strip of raw red beef meat.

    Place the beef rib fingers on a cutting board. Locate the shiny, reflective fascia and carefully use a sharp knife to trim it off, as this connective tissue is tough and difficult to chew.

    Tip: Removing the fascia improves the tenderness of the final skewers significantly.
  2. 2Prepare the beef skewers
    A hand sliding a cubed piece of raw beef onto a long wooden skewer.

    After trimming the fascia, cut the beef into small, uniform chunks. Thread these pieces onto wooden skewers, ensuring they are packed securely but not too tightly.

    Tip: Slicing the beef into smaller, thinner chunks helps improve the texture since not all fascia can be removed completely.
  3. 3Season the skewers
    A hand shaking a seasoning packet over raw beef skewers arranged on a wooden board.

    Line the prepared beef skewers up on the cutting board. Generously sprinkle black pepper salt over the meat, ensuring a good coating for flavor.

    Tip: Be sure to season both sides of the skewers to ensure the flavor is evenly distributed.
  4. 4Season all sides

    Flip the skewers over carefully on the board and sprinkle more black pepper salt. Repeat this process until all four sides of the meat chunks are evenly coated.

    Tip: Consistent seasoning on all sides is key to a flavorful grilled result.
  5. 5Bake the beef skewers
    A baking tray loaded with seasoned raw beef skewers being slid onto an oven rack.

    Place the seasoned beef skewers onto a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. Put the tray into the oven and bake at 230 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes until juicy and fragrant.

    Tip: Using aluminum foil makes for much easier cleanup after baking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, brisket or sirloin also work well for skewers. Look for cuts with a bit of intramuscular fat to ensure they stay juicy during the high-heat bake.
Fascia is a tough, connective tissue that does not break down quickly during short cooking times. Removing it ensures the beef is tender rather than chewy.
The recipe calls for a direct, high-heat bake, but if you notice the tops browning too quickly, feel free to flip them halfway through the 15-minute cook time.
