Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 pieces bell peppers (any color), cut into chunks
- 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, coconut aminos, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell pepper to create colorful skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo grilled pork skewers hot, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
