Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
10 bamboo skewers
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
3 cups cubed fresh pineapple
2 red bell peppers, cut into cubes
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

Combine pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, lime juice, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic in a large resealable bag. Seal and shake up to combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
While the pork is marinating, soak skewers in water for about 20 minutes prior to using them. That will help the skewers to not burn up when exposed to the flame.
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Thread the skewers with marinated pork, pineapple, and red pepper, alternating back and forth; discard the marinade.
Cook skewers on the preheated grill until they obtain grill marks and the pork is no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of pork: Tenderloin is the best cut for kebabs because it is lean and tender. You can also use pork loin or sirloin, but these cuts are not as tender.
Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces: This will help to ensure that the pork cooks evenly.
Skewer the pork: Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the pork pieces. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
Cook the pork over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pork from drying out. Cook the pork for about 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
Serve the pork kebabs with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for pork kebabs include rice, potatoes, vegetables, and tzatziki sauce.
