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:

  • Tenderize the Pork: Before cooking, use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to tenderize the pork tenderloin. This will help to break down the muscle fibers and make the meat more tender and juicy.
  • Choose the Right Skewers: For best results, use metal or bamboo skewers that are at least 12 inches long. Wooden skewers can burn easily, so they are not recommended.
  • Marinate the Pork: Marinating the pork tenderloin in a flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat. You can find a variety of marinade recipes online or in cookbooks.
  • Cook the Pork to the Right Temperature: The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius) for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for well-done.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauce: Spicy pork tenderloin skewers are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or sweet and sour sauce.
