Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g pork tenderloin
- 250 g button mushrooms
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Clean the button mushrooms and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the pork cubes and mushrooms. Toss well to coat everything evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of pork and mushrooms until all ingredients are used.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is browned on all sides and cooked through (internal temperature of 63°C/145°F).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled pork and mushroom skewers hot as a main dish or appetizer.
