Categories     Cooking Tips and How Tos

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs of boneless pork shoulder*
1 large onion
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup flavorful beer (craft pale ale, German dunkel, etc)
7-8 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • PREPARE THE PORK SKEWERS1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes. 2. Make a marinade by mixing the marinade ingredients. In a non-reactive container or freezer bag combine the cubed pork with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to overnight. Bring to room temperature before cooking. 3. Cut the onion into thick chunks similar in size to the size of the pork cubes. Thread the skewers** by alternating onions and pork. GRILLED PORK SKEWERS1. Heat your gas grill to medium-hot and lightly brush with oil before you place the skewers on. For charcoal grill wait until the coals turn white. Alternatively heat up a lightly greased grill pan or a griddle over medium-high heat. 2. Place the skewers onto the hot surface. Grill on all sides until the pork cubes are tender and nicely charred. Be patient before you lift them to turn them for the very first time - initially the meat is likely to stick to the surface and will gradually release as it begins to char. OVEN BAKED PORK SKEWERS1. Preheat your oven to 375 - 400 F depending on how strong you know it to be. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the skewers on top about 1 inch apart. 2. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pork is tender, turning once or twice. Turn on the broiler and broil the skewers for the last couple of minutes for a nicely browned finish. Turn frequently to make sure the surface doesn't burn. Serve the skewers garnished with fresh herbs and charred lemon - a little citrusy squeeze really brightens up the flavors of the pork skewers. Remind everyone to handle them with caution - the ends will be hot!

2 tablespoons oyster sauce*
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon each: freshly-cracked black pepper, garlic powder
1 batch Homemade BBQ Sauce
2/3 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon each: freshly-cracked black pepper, garlic powder
optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon each: chili powder, salt

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup coarse-grain dijon mustard
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup olive oil
optional: 1-2 tablespoons finely-chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Whisk together the ingredients for (one) marinade in a small bowl until combined.
  • Combine marinade with pork in a ziplock freezer bag, and toss until the pork is evenly coated in the marinade. Carefully press out any extra air that might be in the bag, then seal. (You will need 1/2 cup marinade per 1 pound of pork.)
  • Refrigerate the pork pack(s) for anywhere from 30 minutes to up to 1 day.
  • Immediately transfer the pork pack(s) to the freezer, and freeze for up to 3 months. Then when you're ready to cook the pork, transfer the pork pack back to the refrigerator for 24 hours, or until it has thawed completely. Or to speed up the process, you can submerge the sealed pork pack in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator until it has thawed completely.
  • When ready to cook, remove the pork from the marinade, discard the remaining marinade, and cook however you prefer. (See recommendations below.)

THE BEST MARINADE FOR KABOBS! (BEEF, PORK AND LAMB)



The Best Marinade for Kabobs! (Beef, Pork and Lamb) image

I have a few favorite marinades that I have used for years this is one of them, this marinade will tenderize and add flavor to any cut of meat to absolute perfection and makes fantastic kabobs! This can also be used for chicken but because of the vinegar amount marinading time will need to be reduced to a maximum of 6 hours or the acid vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken, use only honey no other substitutions!.. you will love this marinade!
