Instructions
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, basil, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well.
1 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 3/4 cup vinegar, 4 garlic cloves, 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper
Cut the meat into cubes and add it to a zippered bag. Pour the marinade over top cover the meat.
3 pounds meat
Let the meat marinade, refrigerated, for 1 to 3 days. Turn the bag over occasionally in the refrigerator.
If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water for 30 minutes before assembling the spiedies.
Preheat your grill on medium-high.
Remove meat from the marinade and thread onto skewers. Put 6-7 pieces per skewer, enough to fill your bread or bun. Grill for 8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes.
To serve, pick up a pieces of bread, put the skewer on the bread, fold the bread over and pull the skewer out.
Italian bread
These are traditional served without condiments, but if you want to include a sauce garlic aioli is my favorite.
Notes
You can substitute 1 Tablespoon of Italian seasoning for the oregano, thyme and basil.
Don't cut the marinade time short, these really should marinade for 24 hours.
