Steps:
- Slice the pork shoulder in half lengthwise. Cut each piece across into thin, 1/8-inch slices.
- Transfer pork to a mixing bowl and add garlic, onion, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and cayenne. Mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and transfer into a refrigerator for 4 hours, or up to overnight.
- Preheat an charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Weave pork slices on metal skewers, folding the longer pieces in half as you go. Slices should be pressed snugly together as you build the skewer.
- Grill skewers over the hot charcoal until browned and no longer pink, turning frequently, about 30 minutes. Brush on barbecue sauce and turn skewers several times so the sauce caramelizes, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Serve immediately.

Steps:
- PREPARE THE PORK SKEWERS1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes. 2. Make a marinade by mixing the marinade ingredients. In a non-reactive container or freezer bag combine the cubed pork with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to overnight. Bring to room temperature before cooking. 3. Cut the onion into thick chunks similar in size to the size of the pork cubes. Thread the skewers** by alternating onions and pork. GRILLED PORK SKEWERS1. Heat your gas grill to medium-hot and lightly brush with oil before you place the skewers on. For charcoal grill wait until the coals turn white. Alternatively heat up a lightly greased grill pan or a griddle over medium-high heat. 2. Place the skewers onto the hot surface. Grill on all sides until the pork cubes are tender and nicely charred. Be patient before you lift them to turn them for the very first time - initially the meat is likely to stick to the surface and will gradually release as it begins to char. OVEN BAKED PORK SKEWERS1. Preheat your oven to 375 - 400 F depending on how strong you know it to be. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the skewers on top about 1 inch apart. 2. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pork is tender, turning once or twice. Turn on the broiler and broil the skewers for the last couple of minutes for a nicely browned finish. Turn frequently to make sure the surface doesn't burn. Serve the skewers garnished with fresh herbs and charred lemon - a little citrusy squeeze really brightens up the flavors of the pork skewers. Remind everyone to handle them with caution - the ends will be hot!

GRILLED PORK SKEWERS WITH CHILE SAUCE
Steps:
- Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cilantro, garlic, sugar, and black pepper in a bowl.

- Heat grill to high. Remove the skewers from the marinade and grill the meat on both sides until slightly charred and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with Chili Sauce on the side for dipping.
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) or pork tenderloin are both excellent choices for grilled BBQ pork skewers. Pork shoulder is a more flavorful cut, but it requires longer cooking time. Pork tenderloin is leaner and cooks more quickly.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful marinade helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. The marinade can be as simple as a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, or it can be more complex, such as a marinade made with pineapple juice, brown sugar, and spices.
- Use wooden skewers: Wooden skewers are the best choice for grilling pork skewers. Metal skewers can conduct heat too quickly, which can cause the pork to overcook on the outside while remaining undercooked on the inside. Wooden skewers also help to keep the pork skewers moist.
- Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before grilling the pork skewers. This will help to sear the outside of the pork and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
- Grill the pork skewers: Grill the pork skewers for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through. Be sure to turn the skewers frequently to ensure that the pork cooks evenly.
- Let the pork skewers rest: Once the pork skewers are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the pork more tender.
Conclusion:
Marinated grilled BBQ pork skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your pork skewers are cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Serve the pork skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a sweet and sour sauce or a spicy barbecue sauce.
