Cut the beef ribeye into 4 cm cubes.
Mix the meat with garlic, bay leaves, olive oil, coarse salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Boil the potatoes or prepare them in the oven for serving.
Thread the meat onto skewers and heat the grill until very hot.
Cook the espetada for 14 to 16 minutes total, until each side is browned.
Serve the skewers hot with potatoes and yogurt.
💡 Tip: Do not cut the meat too small; 4 cm cubes brown on the grill without drying out, while smaller pieces become tough skewers.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve espetada with roasted potatoes, green salad, and optional garlic yogurt as a Turkish grill-table adaptation.
