I friended Freek on Facebook as we had a lot of mutual BBQ contacts. The Netherlands is a country that is crazy about grilling and BBQ- I have a lot of friends from that country who are world class grillers and I’m adding Freek to the list. This recipe is straight from his blog, Freeks Food:

“Beef Skewers are some of the best grilling food. They’re delicious, a change of pace, and the national food of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Clearly, beef skewers have something to them.”
