2- Pour the marinade all over the meat. Cover the pan with a plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours before cooking the meat.
Note: if you want to marinate the meat overnight and cook it the next day, omit the kiwi from the recipe as the kiwi can over-tenderize the meat.

Step 4 – Cooking the Meat: 
1- Heat a grilling pan on medium heat.
2- Grill the meat on both sides until the outside is nicely browned. It should take 5-10 minutes.
3- Serve immediately with some rice and other side dishes.
