evenly. Heat the marinade in a small saucepan 2 to 3 minutes, brush lightly
over the espetada.

3. Cook by one of the following methods:

A. Over charcoal: Pour the remaining marinade into a small heavy saucepan
and set at the edge of a grill, adjusted so that it is about 5 inches above
white-hot coals. Lay the skewered beef on the grill and cook, turning
often, about 5 minutes for very rare, 7 minutes for rare, and 9 to 10 for
medium-rare, brushing frequently with marinade.

B. In the broiler: Lay the skewers on a lightly greased broiler pan, place
5 to 6 inches from the heat, then broil, turning frequently, about 6
minutes for very rare, 8 minutes for rare, and 10 for medium-rare. Brush
frequently with marinade.
