While the beef is marinating, place wooden skewers in a container filled with water and let them soak for at least 15-20 minutes. This step helps prevent the skewers from burning during the cooking process.

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the assembled beef skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, making sure to flip the skewers halfway through the cooking time. Continue cooking until the beef reaches your desired doneness and has a slight char on the edges.

Alternatively, if using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If pan-frying, heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the hot grill or in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning frequently, until the beef is cooked through and nicely browned.
