Soak twelve 10 to 12-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain.
Meanwhile place garlic in blender or food processor container. Cover; process, pulsing on and off, until garlic is finely chopped. Add remaining marinade ingredients; process until mixture is blended.
Cut beef steak across the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips. Combine beef and marinade in medium bowl; toss to coat. Let stand in refrigerator 10 minutes.
Thread beef, weaving back and forth, evenly onto skewers; discard marinade. Place skewers on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, about 4 to 6 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Season with salt, as desired. Garnish with lime slices and cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Makes 6 servings.
