Barbecued Beef Skewers

3/4 cup of Hickory or original barbecue sauce
1 pound of beef flank or sirloin steak
3 tablespoons of minced shallots or green onions
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons of grated lemon peel
4 cloves garlic, pressed,
Salt and pepper to taste

Cut the beef diagonally into thin strips about 1" wide.

Thread onto 16 skewers, (if using a bamboo skewer soak it in water for 30 minutes before use) allowing 1 to 2 ribbons of beef per skewer.

In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, shallots, lemon juice, lemon peel, garlic and pepper.

Brush skewered beef generously with sauce mixture.

Place over hot coals in covered grill. Grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
