Peppery Beef Kebabs with Braised Pearl Onions

If you've got a rosemary bush in your garden, now's the time to use it to make skewers. Or, to keep things simple, just use bamboo skewers (you'll need 60)—the kebabs will still look great.

Cooks' notes:

·Onions may be braised 2 days ahead and chilled, with juices, in a sealed bag.
·You can chill raw kebabs, covered, on broiler pan or a tray 4 hours.
·Although all kebabs will fit on 1 broiler pan, you may prefer to broil kebabs in batches so they are not all ready at once.
