Provided by Natasha Kravchuk

Categories     Easy/Medium

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lb pork tenderloin (trimmed and cut into 1 1/2" pieces)
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large red onion (cut into 1" pieces)
1 Tbsp fresh parsley to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl (or ziploc bag), combine chopped pork, 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper and stir until well combined. Separate onion pieces and add them to the bowl. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
  • Thread the kabobs onto metal skewers*, alternating between meat and onion. For even browning, the meat and onions should be just touching on the skewers and not crowded together. Let your skewers stay at room temperature for 30 minutes before placing on the grill.
  • Preheat your grill to Medium/high heat (400˚F). Add skewers in a single layer and grill for 8-10 minutes total. Meat skewers turn like a triangle so we cook about 3 minutes per side on all 3 sides. Grill until cooked through and meat reaches at least 145˚F internal temperature. Rest skewers 3 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pork: Select pork loin or tenderloin for tender, juicy kabobs. These cuts are lean and cook quickly, making them ideal for grilling.
  • Marinate the Pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful mixture of garlic, olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances its taste and keeps it moist during cooking.
  • Use Quality Skewers: Opt for sturdy metal skewers to prevent them from burning or bending under the weight of the meat and vegetables.
  • Skewer the Kabobs Properly: Alternate pieces of pork, vegetables, and any other desired ingredients onto the skewers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  • Grill at the Right Temperature: Maintain a medium-high heat on your grill to sear the pork quickly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook to the Right Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • Rest the Kabobs: Allow the kabobs to rest for a few minutes before serving, which helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Garlic pork kabobs are a delectable and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. The combination of tender pork, aromatic garlic, and colorful vegetables makes them a crowd-pleaser.
