• Mince garlic
• Cube sirloin into bite-size cubes
• Add shrimp to one bowl and cubed steak to another
• Toss the shrimp in avocado oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic
• Toss the steak cubes in avocado oil, coconut aminos, and minced garlic
• Cover the two bowls and let marinate in the fridge for about an hour
• Skewer the shrimp and steak on separate skewers
• Heat the grill over medium-high heat
• When the grill is warm, add the skewers to the grill
• Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes each side and remove from grill
• Cook the steak for about 12 minutes total rotating every 3 minutes - keep the grill closed between rotations
• Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes prior to eating!
