Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 large bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, pre-soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red onion and bell peppers into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated pork cubes, red onion, and bell pepper pieces alternately onto the skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a slight char on the edges.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled pork skewers with your choice of Whole30 compliant sides, such as cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad.
