Use Scissors to Cut the Beef into Strips then Marinate in the Sauces

Marinate the Beef in the Fridge for at least 2 - 3 Hours.  When ready to cook on the grill, weave the strips of beef on to the water soaked skewers.  Grill on both sides.  Be sure to boil the remainder of your sauces well before topping the Beef Sticks or using it as a dip.

Note:  Right now my beef is marinating.  I will post pictures of the cooked Beef Sticks later on today.  Happy Fourth of July Everyone!
