Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade mixture and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or broiler rack with vegetable oil.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers, dividing the pieces evenly among them.
Grill or broil the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or steamed vegetables.
