Spiedies

I first had these when I was in the Marines and stationed in Panama. Spiedies are basically meat that's marinated in an Italian dressing of sorts for an extended period (think several days) and then grilled. The dressing basically chemically cooks the meat as it marinates. Our recipe started with a bottle of Everclear; I don't recommend that recipe. If I don't feel like grilling, I cook this as a stir-fry and it works equally well.

Note that this recipe only uses beef or pork; you can do it with chicken as well, but the marinate time should be only a few hours because at about 12 hours it will start to change the texture of the chicken in a not good way.

Ingredients:
5 lbs of beef and/or pork
1 cup onions, sliced into large pieces for skewering
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 large or 8 small lemons)
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup olive oil
1 tbsp crushed garlic or 3-5 cloves of garlic sliced very thin
1 tbsp fresh oregano, minced (can substitute 1 tsp dried oregano)
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Cut meat into 1" cubes and place in a large bowl with a lid. Add onions.
2. Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine thoroughly. Pour over meat.
3. Cover meat with lid and refrigerate for up to 7 days. Every day, pull the bowl out, remove the lid, and stir the meat mixture then replace in refrigerator.
4. When it's time to prepare, remove meat from refrigerator. Thread meat (and onions, if desired) onto skewers and grill over direct heat 7-8 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest 2-3 minutes.
5. Using a soft bread such as an Italian roll, remove the meat from the skewer and enjoy.
