Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 8 Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-sized cubes, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size, and set aside in a large bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red wine vinegar. Stir until well blended to form the marinade.
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 and up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated pork pieces onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even charring on all sides. The pork should be cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes like rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
