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.

PHILIPPINE GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN
This is a very easy and healthy dish. I got the recipe out of a book called "Low Fat and Loving It" by Ruth Spear and we LOVE this. We cook it on the grill (never under the broiler) and it comes out great. The marinade is cooked and used as sauce. We serve with fried rice or regular rice and use the sauce on that as well. NOTE: I add the crushed red peppers to the marinade initially, not at the end where stated.

Steps:
- Cut the pork into 1/2 inch thick medallions. You should have about 12 slices.
- Mix together the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Add the pork slices and let marinade 4 to 5 hours (or overnight) in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
- Preheat the broiler. Broil the medallions 7 minutes on each side about 4 inces from the flame. (These are also delicious on a grill; cook over a medium fire 5 minutes on each side, then 10 minutes covered.).
- While the pork is cooking, bring the marinade to a boil in a small saucepan, add the hot pepper flakes, then reduce by one quarter. Strain and serve as a dipping sauce with the meat.
