Does anyone have a tried and tested mix for flavouring meat for Souvlakis? Thanks

Buy pork steak and chop it into small cubes.
Marinate in olive oil, oregano, thyme and a little vinegar for 8-10 hours.
Add salt and pepper to taste when ready and thread the pieces on souvlaki skewers. Be careful not to grill on too high a heat as the meat will dry out.
You can also grill pita bread and add some tomato, onion and the cooked souvlaki meat, served with yoghurt, mustard or ketchup.
Add you favourite salad for a full, healthy and easy meal.

Or try this Greek recipe:
* 1kg cubed meat lamb, beef, chicken or pork * ½ cup olive oil * 2 lemons - about 4 tablespoons juice * ¼ cup wine ( red is best, but white is o. k) * 2 tsps dried oregano * 1 tsps dried thyme * 3 -4 garlic cloves, crushed * 1 small onion, chopped * Salt and pepper
Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and wine together then add the herbs crushed garlic and chopped onion and put the mixture into a deep dish. Putting some marinade aside to coat the cooked kebabs if desired. Add the meat cubes to the marinade and mix together well, ensuring the meat is well and evenly covered.
The meat needs marinating for at least two hours, but it is best if left overnight.
Either metal or wooden skewers can be used, but the wooden ones need soaking for at least half an hour before they are used. This prevents them from burning.
Remove the meat from the marinade, the remaining marinade may be kept for basting during cooking but it must then be thrown away.
The kebabs may be baked in the oven, grilled or the best of all barbecued.
Cook thoroughly and evenly turning them over regularly throughout the cooking time.
Brush with the reserved marinade that hasn't been in contact with the raw meat.
