Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork tenderloin
- 60 ml low-sodium soy sauce
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 15 ml honey
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pork for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the skewers on the hot grill, and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the pork is fully cooked and has grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled pork skewers with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
