Beef Skewers

Editor's note: This recipe was created by Erika Lenkert, author of the book, The Last-Minute Party Girl: Fashionable, Fearless, and Foolishly Simple Entertaining.

I adore this recipe because with it cooking truly can't get any simpler, its presentation is attractive, and since you use so little meat for each skewer you can afford to splurge on a great cut of meat — even for large crowds. Since you're using a great cut of beef, there's no need to embellish its flavor, though you're certainly welcome to use your favorite marinade. For added flair, buy decorative bamboo skewers — they're available on Amazon.com.
