Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 large bell pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and dried oregano to create the marinade.
Add the cubed pork to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
While the pork is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent burning on the grill.
Slice the red onion and bell pepper into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes, red onion, and bell pepper alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers warm and enjoy your delicious low-carb meal.
