Recipe - Greek Souvlaki

Greek Souvlaki

I'm not sure where I got this recipe, but I've changed it a bit and it comes out tasting like the Greek Souvlaki we had in Oia.  And it smells wonderful as you're grilling it.  OPA!

Ingredients:
6 Tablespoons of juice from lemons
1/2 Cup of Greek Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
2 teaspoons Greek Oregano
4-6 Cloves Garlic, crushed (depending on how much you like garlic)
1-3 lbs of Lamb or Pork Tenderloin, cut into 1" cubes.  (you can also substitute chicken or beef, if you'd like)
2 medium onions, cut into 1" chunks (we usually leave this out, as I don't care for onions)
3 Green Bell Peppers, cut into 1" pieces
Skewers

In large glass bowl, mix together all the ingredients, minus the meat and bell peppers.  Once you have your mix, dump into a gallon size plastic bag, with your cut meat and bell peppers.  Make sure you let all of the air out of the bag and zip the bag up tight.  Let marinate for at least 6-8 hours.  We like to marinate for 24 hours, as it better melds the flavors together.
Preheat the grill for medium-high heat.  Thread pork, peppers and onions on skewers.  Lightly oil grate.  Cook for 10-20 minutes or to desired doneness.  Be sure to turn the skewers frequently for even cooking all around.  Serve with Tzatziki sauce for optimal flavor.
