Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine raw honey, coconut aminos, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the pork cubes into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight, for maximum flavor.
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Once the pork has marinated, thread the cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, ensure the coals are nice and hot with a light ash coating.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy as a delicious Paleo meal with a side of fresh greens or roasted vegetables.
