Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling.
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into bite-sized cubes, roughly 2.5 cm (1 inch) in size.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to make the marinade.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade and mix thoroughly, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and has a golden, slightly caramelized exterior.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers warm with your favorite sides, such as a crisp green salad or rice pilaf.
