- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra spice)
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to create the marinade.

- If making beef cubes, thread the marinated beef onto skewers. If making hamburger patties, shape the ground beef into patties.
- Place the skewers or patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
- While grilling, baste the beef with the remaining marinade to enhance the flavor and keep it moist.
- Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the barbecued beef cubes or hamburger patties hot with your favorite barbecue sides such as coleslaw, baked beans, or corn on the cob.
