  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • Cut beef into 1x1/2-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Add onion, lime juice, salt, and black pepper; mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
