- 2. Preheat grill to high.

Arrange the kebabs on the grate and grill, turning with tongs, until the meat is cooked to taste, 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Baste the espetadas with any excess marinade, but not during the last 3 minutes.
- 4. Serve the espetadas on or off the skewers on slices/chunks of Portuguese bread for soaking up the juices.
