Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 4 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the pork cubes into the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each cube to ensure even cooking.
Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. The internal temperature should register 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the souvlaki warm with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a side of fresh salad for a traditional Greek meal.
