Spicy Grilled Beef Kabobs image

An Alton Brown "Good Eats" recipe that he attributes back to the old Ottoman Empire and which sounds pretty authentically Turkish to me! Traditionally according to AB this is supposed to be originated with Turkish mercenaries grilling chunks of meat on their swords in the field - love that guy and his stories)

1 1/2-2 lbs beef sirloin steaks
3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon kosher salt
