| 1. Rinse the pieces of meat thoroughly to remove any debris, and drain for 15 minutes. | 2. Combine the oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the meat with the seasonings, and add oil and vinegar. Use hands to mix and coat all pieces of meat. | 3. Thread skewers (about 12" metal skewers): Put a piece of meat on the skewer and slide down to 2 inches from the handle end of the skewer. Add a vegetable piece, another piece of meat, and continue, alternating vegetable pieces, using a total of 5 pieces of meat on each skewer. A piece of meat should go on last, using the meat to hold the vegetable pieces firmly so they don't fall off during cooking. | 4. Cover and refrigerate skewers for at least one hour before cooking. (They can be marinated as long as 24 hours before cooking.). | 5. Mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil with the lemon juice and brush the skewers just before cooking. | 6. Grill to taste over hot coals (or on a gas grill and brush with the oil and lemon mixture a couple of times while cooking. You'll want to turn the skewers at least once during grilling. It should take somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes depending on the thickness of your cubes for a medium temperature. | 7. Yield: 7-8 skewers. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
