- 2 cloves garlic

- Using the cutting board and chef’s knife, cut the flank steak into long, 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) thick strips. Set aside.
- Clean your cutting board and knife. Then chop the garlic and green onions into very small pieces and set aside.

- Soak skewers in water while meat marinates.
- Place the oven rack 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) below the broiler. Set the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire cooling rack on top of the aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Thread the skewers through the slices of meat. Discard the leftover marinade.
- Place the skewers on the wire cooling rack. Then set the baking sheet in the oven.
- Use tongs to turn over the skewers after two minutes. Cook an additional two minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes before serving hot.
