Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pieces green onions
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to form the marinade.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring that they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavors.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Lightly oil the grates of the grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char.
While the pork is grilling, chop the green onions finely.
Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
