The last time I made souvlaki, the meat got all dried out.
I did some things different:
1. I only marinated the meat for an hour, whereas normally I do it overnight or for at least eight hours.
2. I didn't have onions to add to the skewers, only peppers. I think onions might help tenderize it.
3. I used an assortment of meats at once on the same skewers, which was a mistake. Cook times differ for the meats I should have thought of this before I did it!
So, I think that is the combination of factors that dried the meat out.
My question to you is - how long do you marinate the souvlaki meat, if at all?
