Steps:

Heat grill to HIGH and fold about a 3 inch strip of foil onto grill at the front to guard your exposed skewers. This should keep them from burning off. Grill kabobs 3 minutes on each side, check for doneness. If the meat is still a bit mushy, it should cook just a bit more. Let it stay on the grill another minute or two. With remaining marinade, add 1 tsp soy, and one more tsp sambal or to taste(optional). Heat up to 145 degress on side burner at low temp. This makes an excellent dipping sauce with a little added spice
