Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes, discarding any excess fat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and kosher salt to create the glaze.
Add the pork cubes to the bowl with the glaze and toss until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the pork marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for maximum flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set your oven to broil if grilling is not an option.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers onto the preheated grill or on a broiler pan in the oven. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
