Servings: 4
Equipment
- 6-8 skewers , wooden or metal
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin , cubed
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons liquid aminos , or soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice , or red wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Make the marinade: In a large bowl or ziplock bag, combine olive oil, liquid aminos, lemon juice, honey, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the pork: Add the cubed pork to the marinade, ensuring pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (I prefer overnight).
- Prepare the skewers: Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers. I am to do about 5 per skewer and pack them tight.
- Grill the pork skewers: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is golden brown and cooked through to 145°F.
- Serve: Serve hot with dipping sauces.
Notes
If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
