Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers into similar 1-inch squares. Peel and cut the red onion into chunks about the same size as the peppers.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cubed pork to the marinade. Mix well to coat all the pieces evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a grill pan on the stove.
Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Thread the pork cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers and red onion.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a nice charred exterior (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Spicy Pork Kabobs warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad.
