Pat the meat cubes dry and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Place in a nonreactive bowl or pan with the oil, garlic, and sliced onions. Coat thoroughly. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

Heat the grill or broiler. Remove meat from bowl or pan and discard the marinade. Thread 2 meat cubes alternately with 1 bay leaf half on skewers for a total of about 6 to 8 meat cubes per skewer.



Broil 6 to 8 inches from flame or on an outdoor grill for 10 minutes per side or until no pink shows in the center when cut or when the internal temperature of the meat reaches 160 degrees.
