3. Prepare the Skewers:

- Thread the beef cubes onto skewers evenly.
4. Cook the Skewers:
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Tips:

- Marinate the Beef: Allow the beef to marinate in a mixture of sesame oil, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

- Soak Wooden Skewers: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.

- Uniform Beef Pieces: Cut the beef into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

- Chop Salad Ingredients Fresh: For the best flavor and texture, chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and chili peppers right before assembling the salad.

- Taste and Adjust: Adjust the seasoning of the salad dressing by adding more lime juice, fish sauce, or brown sugar to taste.

There you have it, a satisfying and flavorful meal that combines succulent sesame beef skewers with a crisp, aromatic Thai salad. This dish not only looks impressive but also delivers a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Enjoy your homemade Thai feast!
