Recipe type: Pork
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 2 - 2½ lbs of pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut into 2" cubes
- 1 cup of pineapple juice
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- 3 Tbs of soy sauce
- 1 Tbs of sesame oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 large red or green peppers, cut into 2" pieces
- 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 2" pieces
*You'll need 7 - 8 skewers
Instructions
- Start by stirring together all of the marinade ingredients together in a medium bowl, then place the pork cubes in a large ziplock, placed in a bowl, pour in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, best overnight. Turn the bag on occasion.
- Remove the pork from the fridge and shake off excess marinade, reserving it for basting.
- Now, thread the skewers, alternating the pork, green pepper and pinapple.
- Prepare your grill for direct heat, oil the grate, place the skewers over direct heat and grill them with the lid on for about 16 minutes total, basting often with the reserved marinade. Remove from the grill and serve!
Delicious with brown rice!
Notes
It's important not to overcook the pork, to be sure, check it with a thermometer, the internal temp should be 145 degrees and it will have just a blush of pink in the middle. And don't forget to soak your skewers if you are using bamboo.
