Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, dried oregano, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the pork cubes, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red and green bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of marinated pork, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or brown rice, for a complete meal.
