"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
5 lb. chicken or beef, cubed
2 c. olive oil
1 c. white vinegar
2 T. lemon juice
2 tsp. salt
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 T. garlic salt
3 T. crushed mint
2 T. dried basil
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Directions:
Place the cubed meat into a large resealable plastic bag or container. Add the remainder of the ingredients and shake until combined. Refrigerate for 1-3 days, shaking the container to turn the meat every 6 to 8 hours.

When you are ready to cook, pre-heat an outdoor grill for medium high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove meat from the marinade and place on skewers. Cook on the grill, turning every 3 minutes until meat is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 170º. Be careful not to overcook or the meat will be very dry.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Feel free to eat Spiedies any way you wish, but if you want to eat them in the same fashion as they do at the official Spiedies Festival in Bingingham, NY, you will serve the grilled meat on the soft Italian bread that comes in a bag, like sandwich bread. You will put the meat on the bread and then fold it over with the meat inside... as if the meat is a hot dog. But the meat is NOT a hot dog. You have just cooked up some Spiedies....pronounced "Speed-ees," by the way.
